IP@ Sea: Marine IP Networks and Cisco Systems Training (Seacertify)

Want to get to grips with the fundamentals of onboard IP networks quickly? Are you looking for a hands-on fundamentals and troubleshooting course, perhaps to compliment your Cisco studies? Read on, as our latest training course might be just what you need! This course helps crew understand the fundamental theory and tasks required to support IP networks in a marine environment. After getting to grips with basic theory, we move on to hands-on exercises including real-world scenarios. Everything from the in-room systems, configurations, documentation, presentation material and exercises are marine-specific. As with our other courses, the initial focus is on delivering theory that is not brand-specific. However, we recognize the importance of hands-on training with the most common equipment. Therefore, all classroom hardware is Cisco. We structure the class with eventual student Cisco Certification in mind. Class numbers are kept deliberately small, never exceeding 8 students.
