Certified Network Cabling Design Professional (CNCDP®) (exam incl.)

About VILT
This training is delivered in an online realtime (live!) interactive format, known as VILT, Virtual Instructor Led Training powered by the Cisco Webex Training Center platform.

This VILT training is presented in the English language. The exam for the training is also online, known as EXIN Anywhere Exam. As such you dont have to travel in order to follow this VILT based course in the English language but can follow them instead right from your work or home, requiring a basic PC/laptop and high speed internet connection.

Introduction,
With few exceptions, enterprises today rely on IT for the delivery of business-critical services – often directly to the end consumer. It is therefore vital that the mission-critical data centre is designed, maintained and operated with high-availability and efficiency in mind. Among all the facilities, network cabling is the foundation for the network and one of the major contributors to the availability of the data center.

CNCDP® is a 2-day course designed to expose participants to in-depth knowledge in designing and installing the data network cabling system which includes key subject matters such as; technical standards, designing of different cabling sub-systems, calculation of material requirements, architecture, installation, testing and acceptance.

Examination and Certification

The exam is a 60-minute closed book exam, with 40 multiple-choice questions.
The candidate requires a minimum of 27 correct answers to pass the exam.

Candidates who successfully pass the exam will receive the official ‘Certified Network Cabling Design Professional’ certificate. The certification is valid for three years after which the student needs to re-certify.

Objectives

After completion of the course the participant will be able to:
Understand the various standards for network cabling systems, the models and how to apply these to the network design.
Design the user cabling and patching system for commercial buildings.
Design the network cabling and patching system for data centres.
Design the backbones for both indoor and outdoor cabling.
Select the proper cabling containment/ pathways for network installations.
Apply the correct installation practices and avoid common mistakes.
Define the right testing criteria and methods for copper and fiber systems.

Target audience

The primary audience for this course is any IT, facilities or data centre professional, consultant and/or those who work in network cabling system design, implementation and operation.

Requirements

There is no specific prerequisite for the CNCDP® course. However, participants who already have at least one or two years experience in a IT, data centre or facilities environment may be best suited. Those with no experience just yet are most welcome to participate.

Particularities

This course is delivered in collaboration with one of our partners. The accompanying EXIN exam is taken online at a time that suits you best. This exam is therefore NOT taken at the end of the second day of the course. You will receive a voucher on the basis of which you can book the exam online at EXIN and take it online The voucher is valid for one year The material for this course is provided in a secure PDF and is personal. To open this file, the javelin reader must be installed. Please note: this cannot be installed on some work systems due to security. Advice: use a laptop/tablet without restrictions for the course.
