TIA Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP)

TIA Convergence Technology Professional (CTP) Certification 5-Day
In our world today, telephone networks are merging with data networks. This hands-on CTP course is designed to include all three CTP courses (Telephony Networking, Data Networking, and Convergent Networking) into a 5-day course focused training that will have students understand, set up, maintain, and troubleshoot a data network, a telephony network, and a Voice Over IP (VoIP) networks. Many vendors now require the CTP certification in order to receive vendor certification.
The CTP curriculum and certification is recognized and approved by the Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA), the largest communications technology manufacturers worldwide. These convergence leaders understand the vital importance of a proven, standards-based learning approach to:
Establish a baseline mastery of skills.- Prepare for product-specific training.
- Maximize workforce productivity.
- Decrease labor costs and increase profitability.
- Improve scheduling efficiencies.
- Achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction.
CTCLC has trained some of the Largest and Smallest companies in the Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP) Certification. These companies range from large companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, and AT&T to companies such as Gibson Teldata, Midco, CCC Technologies, And Call One.
