Program Overview

Take your existing network infrastructure skills to new technical levels, developing a “smart hands” approach to infrastructure delivery and gain a comprehensive knowledge of a range of intelligent devices that support smart building technical architecture.

The Certified Integrated Infrastructure Technician (CIIT®) program aims to develop the knowledge and practical skills required to deliver network infrastructure projects that include the installation and commissioning of intelligent network devices. It’s a comprehensive five day program perfect for those with at least two years of verifiable experience within the network infrastructure sector, or relevant qualifications and certifications in a wider project environment.

A certified CIIT® also takes into account the requirements for compliance, having a full understanding of national and international regulations, codes and standards. During the program learners will also have access to current standards for reference purposes. Learners will explore the effect of bandwidth demand on the network based on the operating parameters of a range of intelligent devices. In addition, the effects of power demand by Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices on the cable infrastructure will also be addressed.

Practical hands-on sessions are incorporated throughout this program, focusing on PoE network equipment architecture. Learners will also site and mount equipment to optimise coverage and direction, and will commission and configure devices into service. Such devices include wireless access points, VoIP telephony, CCTV cameras, security control systems (both swipe access and biometric).

A CIIT® can also feel confident that they are progressing through The Global Network Infrastructure Education Framework. They also gain an internationally recognised BTEC Level 4 Professional Award and official CIIT® certification. This certification enters the learner into a commitment to life-long learning and offers the perfect portal to ensure knowledge; skills and certification remain current and up-to-date. Each certification gained from CNet Training requires re-certifying every three years. The process is simple, cost effective and easy via an online learning management system allowing knowledge to be brought up-to-date to reflect the very latest changes and technical developments. Re-certified learners can also benefit from utilising the latest program material, can continue to use the CIIT® logo and post nominal letters for the next three years.
