Optional bonus TCO CTA Certification included
This instructor-led BOOT CAMP is comprised of sixteen modules, which correspond to the TCO CTA‑2026 certification. In class, on completion of each module, you'll have the option of writing the 10-multiple-choice module exam, so you finish the four days not only with vastly increased knowledge and understanding of telecom, but also with certification to prove it.
Regardless of the certification, many people find the module exams an excellent way to ensure you didn't miss any key points. The instructor is there to answer questions if need be.
Or, if you prefer, write the module exams after the class at your leisure. You can repeat exams until you pass.
Or don't bother with exams and certification at all.
They are totally optional. It's your choice!
