Tomorrow, November 19, 9am PST, I join CWNP's Tom Carpenter in a lengthy session in which we will discuss – with YOU – how to become a Wi-Fi expert.
Not everyone has Wi-Fi expertise, but a lot of people want, or need, it. Your organization may be rolling out Wi-Fi and you need to learn a new skill. Or perhaps you have your eye on a career change, but your experience is more rooted in network management (the wired kind).
Enter the "How to Become a Wi-Fi Expert" online event.
During a 5-hour span of time, during which you can come and go as you please, and chime in as much as you'd like, we will cover a range of topics aimed at helping you get started learning, or advancing, your Wi-Fi knowledge. Ask, learn, share.
We have some cool giveaways too!
Everyone who participates – and by participate we mean asks or replies to a thread – gets a free booklet, which is an excerpted chapter (WLAN Troubleshooting and Design) from the latest edition of the CWNAStudy
Guide.
Additionally, you will be able to compete to win one of ten copies of the full CWNA Study Guide or win the Grand Prize - a CWNA Premium Self-Study Kit (value $595).
Contest Rules: The top 10 *most active participants will win a copy of CWNA Study Guide 4th edition. The TOP most active participant wins the GRAND PRIZE prize - the CWNP study kit. (*most active defined as posting, replying and liking)
The operative word to winning anything is "participate." We don't want to just talk about what we think you want to know. Nor do we assume we know everything. We want to hear from YOU - your questions, your knowledge. All *input is welcome. (*as expected, community guidelines for tone and good sportsmanship apply)
Everything you need to know to participate is spelled out here. As for the event itself and what we will cover, here's what to expect:
- 9 - 10am PST - CWNP and vendor neutral training
- 10am - 11am PST - Other training resources
- 11am - 12pm Hands-on Training
- 12 - 1pm PST– Career opportunities
- 1pm - 2pm PST– Importance of Wi-Fi Design and troubleshooting
