Certificate Information

All the training courses are delivered via instructor-led approach with hands-on lab. As these are certification programs, candidates are required to pass both the written and hands-on evaluation to qualify for the certificate.

Instructor-Led Training

Set in an interactive classroom environment, the instructor will introduce concepts and guide students with detailed explanations and interesting examples to meet the student expectations and requirements and at the same time keep the students engaged.

Hands-on Lab:

Step-by-step hands-on labs with detail instructions and guide are provided to reinforce all key concepts. It allows the student to reinforce concepts by performing the tasks they have just learned.

Preface

The IPv6 protocols offers extended address space, scalability, improved support for security, real-time traffic support, and auto-configuration so that even a novice user can connect a machine to the Internet. The training program is designed to provide foundation information on IPv6 technology and exposure the participants on the technical knowhow to start the IPv6 implementation.

Training Approach

Set in an interactive classroom environment, the instructor will introduce concepts and guide students with detailed explanations and interesting examples to meet the student expectations and requirements and at the same time keep the students engaged.
