Wi-Fi Technician
Associated Certification: CWT
Course Summary
Duration: 1 day, Classroom, Virtual Live Online
Introduction
The Certified Wireless Technician (CWT) is an
individual who can install APs based on a design
document, configure the AP for initial
operations and ensure connectivity. The
individual can troubleshoot basic problems and
assist users in-person or through remote
communications in problem resolution. The
ability to configure a WLAN client for
connectivity is paramount with an understanding
of the configuration process for SSIDs, security
settings and other client adapter settings.
This individual is not responsible for WLAN
design, analysis or security design; however,
the CWT should be able to gather information
from a design specification document to properly
configure an AP and troubleshoot individual
connection issues. The CWT may not be aware of
the actual WLAN architectural design, the RF
design or the full feature set in use to
implement the WLAN
