Become the go-to wireless networking expert and send your career in a great direction -- up!

If you want a wireless networking certification that will get you recognized, there''s no better source than the Certified Wireless Network Professional (CWNP) program.

The program includes 4 levels of vendor-neutral certification for wireless LAN administrators -- Wireless# ("wireless sharp"), CWNA, CWSP, and CWNE.

(Note: CWNA Exam PW0-100 was retired on November 3, 2008. CBT Nuggets is developing training to cover its replacement exam: PW0-104. Check our Videos in Development page to follow the status of this new training. Please also note that, while the PW0-100 exam is no longer offered, the information covered by this training holds valid reference value for some legacy systems.)

These certifications cover all levels of wireless networking skills -- from consultants who install home networks and wireless hot-spots in local businesses, up through wireless experts who deploy multi-site wireless networks for entire campuses or municipalities.

This training covers those two extremes plus everything in between. You''ll gain a thorough understanding of how to deploy and maintain wireless networks of any size. Plus there''s an entire certification series dedicated to making your wireless networks secure -- an absolute must when you transmit sensitive data through the air.

Study these videos and apply what you learn on the job and pretty soon you''ll be the local go-to wireless networking expert -- and demand for your skills will give you the career boost you''re looking for.

About the training videos in the Wireless Networking Super Combo:

Wireless#:

Learn to install, configure, and optimize basic wireless networks. Understand wireless technologies like ZigBee, WiMax, Bluetooth, and infrared -- including benefits and uses of each. Apply a baseline level of security to your wireless network. Plus troubleshoot when things aren''t working.

CWNA - Certified Wireless Network Administrator:

Anything bigger than a small business or home installation, and your wireless network is going to have multiple access points and other complicating factors. Learn how to deploy and manage larger wireless networks -- including the day-to-day skills of a wireless LAN administrator. Also, understand the advanced wireless concepts you deal with when your network expands beyond a single access point. (Note: The exam covered in this training -- PW0-100 -- remains available through December 31, 2008.)

CWSP - Certified Wireless Security Professional:

Balance security with easy access on your wireless network. With these videos you''ll learn how to protect your wireless network from attack and your sensitive data from being stolen. Learn specific ways criminals try to break into your wireless network -- then learn how to stop them. Also learn about wireless intrusion detection and prevention systems, security protocols, authentication methods, wireless VPN, and how to create security policies for wireless networks.

CWNE - Certified Wireless Networking Expert:

Become the wireless expert. This series builds on the wireless skills you''ve learned so far plus gives you the extra expert-level knowledge it takes to understand exactly how wireless works. Learn all the IEEE 802.11 standards -- including a, b, g, n, i, e, h, d, and F. Plus learn about MAC Fundamentals, frame format, protocol analyzers, and how to do wireless LAN analysis.
