CTP Convergence Technologies Professional Course Overview

With countless technological advancements over the past five years, the convergence of
communications technologies has grown at an exponential rate. Endorsed by the worlds’
leading manufacturers of convergence solutions the CTP program provides an
independent world recognised professional qualification for those involved in designing,
installing and trouble shooting convergent networks.


The qualification covers the three core elements of:
- Data Networking
- Voice
- Convergence
According to the TIA 2006 Market Review and Forecast:
“In the Enterprise market the long heralded move to convergent technologies is now
taking off, and the Internet Protocol (IP) equipment and IP based services are now
replacing legacy technologies.”
This 5 day program provides a thorough understanding and validates the inter-related
elements, which form the CTP certification.
