ENGINEER ESSENTIALS - Professional Field Engineering Practices for UC Solutions
Overview:

"I know the technology in theory but not actually touched production gear, so lose out at the interview stage"

Engineer Essentials™ has been specially developed to bridge the gap between engineers and consultants who have the accreditations on paper, but lack the real-world exposure or an environment to practice in order to keep their knowledge fresh for the field. This is mostly a practical class – so be prepared not to get too cosy in your seats and be ready to get your hands dirty!

Students will work on a wide variety of switches, routers, server platforms and associated networking modules - erasing, installing, migrating and upgrading all the key components of a converged network solution. The class is in effect groundbreaking practical training that for once, puts the books aside, and verfies the student's ability to perform common field engineering tasks in a safe, controlled manner within industry best practices and manufacturer guidelines

Duration:

The course duration is 5 days 9am – 5pm and is customised around thhe students/employer's workplace environment so if it is a mass migration from CUCM 4 to 8 that is the hot topic - then specific versions and hardware are focused on such that the class is wholly productive for doing the job for real

Intended Audience:

Ideal for freshly qualified grads, entry level engineers or staff wishing to move into a technical discipline (for example away from pre sales) but would otherwise not be considered due to the time it would take to learn the field requirements. This course is designed for the commercial sector, consultants, partners and resellers, but there are no restrictions on who can attend

An appreciation of the technologies and their interactions would be ideal in order to fully benefit from this class, however due to the high flexibility of the class most students will grasp the practical aspects of the class quickly

Course Content & Structure:

Engineer Essentials™ covers a broad spectrum of technologies, platforms and industry based best practices and methodologies for successfully installing, supporting and troubleshooting Cisco Voice technologies. Whilst the course focuses on Voice, most of the concepts can be applied to other technology suites

Students will spend much of the 5 days, performing a plethora of common tasks in demand from the Telecom industry, this includes but limited to:

  • Hands on experience in stripping down, Voice servers, gateways and associated peripherals
  • Installations of Voice applications on MCS servers, such as Cisco Callmanager and Unity
  • Upgrades and migrations of Voice applications, including industry best practices such as backup practices that mitigate irreversible data loss
  • Voice network device installation and upgrades, including business best practices such as change management windows and stakeholder reviews
  • Students will become comfortable with a very wide variety of platforms, appliances and systems, from the hardware to the operating systems – to the actual applications themselves!
  • Students will become familiar with troubleshooting techniques that have been developed in the industry as proven methodologies for fault diagnosis and troubleshooting

Open lab sessions will permit the class to deep dive into areas and challenges that they personally face in the working environment or customer environment, with plenty of opportunity to discuss with other professionals also, including subjects such as strategy, approach, mitigating risk and how to minimise your company liability whilst on a customer site. This is the ultimate "get up and do it" class and a simple must for all consultants, field technicians and support personnel working with service providers, system integrators and the like - or simply those who are keen to demonstrate more than a certification at the next 'big interview'

In summary, Engineer Essentials is the ultimate 'do it for real' course, so if you really want to know how its done in the workplace for real - this is the course for you!
