A Managers Guide to Wireless Technologies 1 - NWTM

WTM - Wireless Technology Manager Certificate
A Managers Guide to Wireless Technologies

Approximately 16 hours online to complete.
This course was created to help enterprise technical-executive managers, channel partners and others better
understand local and wide area wireless technologies. This course is not for the technical repair or programming
of vendor-specific equipment. It is a business strategy course that includes sales, marketing, technical issues and
critical success issues needed to understand wireless technology.

You can begin at any point, jump around or go through them in the order as they are listed on the screen. As with
any course, there are sections that have more details than others and some sections may provide some
duplication which gives you more "spoon feeding" than others. Other sections may require you to explore other
knowledge sources.

NEED HELP. This is a free-form instructor-guided course but like with any learning experience, you will have to
do your homework and explore other knowledge sources to complete the course. If you are really stuck, please
send email to
cross@gocross.com
and we will help you with as soon as we can, e.g. 1-2 business days. Please
note that your question maybe found in
http://www.techtionary.com
, so please go there first. Unfortunately, we
cant answer vendor-specific or customer support problems.

The navigation works by the > forward < backward arrows in the lower right-hand corner. However, there are a
number of slides with the following green "next" button. This means that there are additional details by pressing
the "next" button. If you prefer a larger viewing area, please select F11 in your browser for full-screen viewing.

There are also numerous rollover-mouse over slides with additional details to be found by moving your mouse
over these areas. Due to the large file sizes required for audio, audio segments are separated into a library of
audio tutorials. If you would like to see additional audio segments, please send an email to cross@gocrosscom.
Lastly, we take feedback seriously and know that any course is never finished.

This course is requires latest version of Adobe Flash Player available at

Course Concept & Refunds
Like with life, there is not a consistent look and feel with the content. Designing and animating requires an
enormous amount of work and sometimes either font size or some other graphic factor is compromised to get the
job done. If you dislike the class, then get a refund within seven days. However, we hope you like the
enormous effort that went into building this innovative new approach to learning as this course is being constantly
updated. Your feedback during and after class is appreciated and will be incorporated into subsequent versions.
Our goal is to educate you and help you secure the BVSD certification.

Certificate In Internet Studies
BVSD will issue a certificate in Internet Studies for any student who completes three courses such as CTM,
STE, VBE, WTM and/or NDP. Students must successfully pass a multiple choice test with each 80% passing
grade
