The Certified Wireless Network Professional™ (CWNP™) program is the IT
industry standard for vendor-neutral WLAN training and certification. The CWNP
program consists of four levels of training and certification, as shown in
Figure
:
- Administrator: Wireless LAN administration
- Security Professional: Wireless LAN security
- Integrator: Wireless LAN integration
- Expert: Wireless packet and protocol analysis
The CWNP program offers instruction in all aspects of wireless
networking in a series of certification training courses. The four levels of
knowledge and certification of the CWNP program allow students to pursue as
much knowledge about wireless networking as their profession requires.
CWNA is the foundation of the CWNP program. Covering a broad range of
wireless networking topics, CWNA allows IT professionals who are new to
wireless networking to learn quickly. For individuals already familiar with
WLANs, earning the CWNA certification fills in any gaps in their knowledge.
CWNA certification candidates must know how to administer, install, configure,
and troubleshoot wireless network systems.
