"Most WISP's I have found are self taught which I can appreciate, because I too have taught myself many things.  However, when you get formal training on wireless and on the product itself, training created by the manufacturer it's like a light comes on and you suddenly are able to make the gear do everything it is capable of.  That's when training pays for itself."  -- Steve Discher

Our course includes bonus information, not included in other trainer’s courses ensuring your success with airMAX products.  All of the material in the Ubiquiti Certification course is covered in class in addition to basic routing, IP subnetting, basic networking and an expanded lab practical which ensure you understand all possible configurations.
