Students' Required Preparations

The course isn't for everyone; you are required to have a minimum networking skillset going in, and the schedule is fairly intensive.  But it's a very rewarding course and we can get you through both exams right in the classroom.

Our Classroom:

We use a very comfortable classroom with a lab purpose-built for our needs.  (Since this photo, we've upgraded to a better classroom and all the computers now have flat-screen monitors).

 

Every student gets two computers.  The first has multiple NIC's and has the full Enterprise version of Firewall-1/VPN-1.  The second hosts multiple web servers, ftp servers, telnet servers, mail servers and networking monitoring software so we always know what's going on.

Onsite Training Available:

If you'd like us to bring this course to your corporate location, please contact us.  It's something we do fairly regularly.
