WIFUND Training

WIFUND (Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals) v1.0 Training is a five-day instructor-led training course includes instructor assisted, hands-on labs. The Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals training class is designed to help you prepare for the CCNA Wireless certification, an associate level certification in the wireless field. The WIFUND course is designed for individuals who are involved in the technical management of Cisco wireless platforms and solutions, which involves installing, configuring, operating and troubleshooting.

This course is presented using a combination of lectures and lab activities and incorporates all the material a student needs to pass the WIFUND exam and achieve the CCNA Wireless certification.

Note: Access to the remote labs requires a browser that supports Java and permissions to open RDP or encrypted RDP (RDP443) sessions. If your browser does not support Java, you will need administrator rights to the laptop to install software.

What's Included
