Overview: AM-211-OJT training focuses on the acquisition of wireless survey skills in the workplace. We begin by coaching key concepts then guide the student use those concepts when analyzing their own wireless network. We will perform an actual survey at your location. Our instructors’ real world experiences help demonstrate additional concepts. After this engagement, the students will produce a final survey and detailed report of the surveyed facility.

AM-211-OJT ensures your team has the knowledge and skills to survey, plan, design, and monitor your WLAN network. We design our training with feedback from the software developers, field engineers, trainers, and our customers to ensure your team gets the best knowledge transference possible. We continuously review and update our training to maintain the highest standards.

Who is the course for?    
This wireless design and site survey training class is designed for network administrators, systems engineers, and IT personnel who design, deploy, document and maintain enterprise Wi-Fi networks. Managers and administrators who outsource these services will also benefit by learning to use the AirMagnet toolsets in order to verify the work done by contractors. Consultants and system integrators who use AirMagnet products to investigate wireless network issues will also receive value from this course.
