These certification classes are intense, hands-on courses which will show you where and how to find and use technology-related information. You will learn how the underlying technology works from the application level to the frame level and need to pass both a practical and written exam in order to become certified. You will receive 24 PDH hours and two Certificates (Engineer, Installer) for completing the course.
