AVIXA has developed this distance-learning version of their Networking Technology course. Just like an in-person group class, students will meet with the instructor in real-time to receive personalized skills training, ask questions, and learn from the insights of the group. You will learn the basics of networking from an AV perspective while gaining the tools you need to have a meaningful conversation with your IT peers. Collaborative exercises and demos will allow you to practice the skills you’ll take back to work with you. During the course, you will:
- Review how to discuss AV network requirements with your IT stakeholders
- Compare and contrast the most common network-based AV transmission protocols
- Interpret IP addresses and subnets
- Identify network security threats and countermeasures
- Use common network diagnostic tools and perform basic network troubleshooting
This course is worth 24 renewal units (RUs) towards CTS recertification for current valid CTS holders. You must attend all sessions to receive CTS renewal credit.
