Technical level and intended audience
Our seminars have been taught to wide acclaim across North America since 1992 and are designed for the non-engineering professional needing an overview and update, and for those new to the business needing to get up to speed quickly on telecommunications, datacom, IP and networking.
Our emphasis is conveying the key concept-level knowledge in plain English - which you can't get reading trade magazines or talking to vendors. We put in place a solid, valuable and long-lasting understanding. It is our goal to bust the buzzwords, demystify the jargon, and cut through the doubletalk to present a clear, cohesive picture.
