Network Infrastructure Fundamentals (NIF®)

Network Infrastructure Fundamentals Programs

NEW PROGRAM

Program Overview

Gain detailed knowledge in the field of telecommunications network
infrastructure.

To operate successfully, all methods of communication require a source and a destination with a pathway in between. The source is most often a smart device such as a phone, tablet, scanner, camera, card reader etc. The destination (the point of processing the data) could be a telephone exchange or storage and processing equipment in a data centre. The media pathway can be fibre optic or copper cables, or quite often wireless links.

This program provides a broad understanding of the principles of communications systems, an understanding of voice and data communications technologies, and how to relate that information to the complexity of the physical network required. It explores the physical infrastructure components that combine to create the pathways, containment systems and network cabling infrastructure.

This program has been designed for individuals who are either new to the network infrastructure
sector or are seeking to develop their knowledge in relation to telecommunications networks. If you would like to discuss your experience or suitability for this program please contact us.

The Network Infrastructure Fundamentals Program is 1 day in duration.

Learners are required to have a webcam enabled laptop or suitable device with unrestricted wireless internet connectivity, the latest internet browser and a suitable application for editing standard office documents such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

The program de-mystifies the technical terminology that permeates all extents of network infrastructure, using simple language, clear explanations, and useful analogies.

Learners will gain a comprehensive overview of the network infrastructure sector, a broad understanding of the principles of communications systems, an understanding of voice and data communications technologies, and how to relate that information to the complexity of the physical network required. As well as a CNet Certificate, you will also gain use of the official Network Infrastructure Fundamentals Digital Badge.

There are no specific pre-requisites for this program however some awareness of the network infrastructure industry would be advantageous.

  • Data Centre Fundamentals – for those who are either new to the network infrastructure sector or are seeking to develop their knowledge in relation to telecommunications networks.
  • Certified Network Cable Installer (CNCI®) – relevant to new entrants to the cabling industry in addition to those already working within the cable installation environment wishing to formalise their skills.
  • Certified Data Centre Technician Professional (CDCTP®) – beneficial to technical personnel who are responsible for the day-to-day smooth operation of the mission critical environments within these facilities.
  • Certified Network Infrastructure Technician (CNIT®) – for individuals within the network cabling installation environment wishing to extend their hands on practical skills, knowledge, qualifications and certifications in relation to cable installation within different environments
