In addition to SCN's many courses which are heavily theory based, we also offer practical courses which are very much a hands on approach for those wanting to move into the installation arena. Our Installation of Communications Equipment training courses, will prepare individuals to install communications equipment in all types of environment, from small business systems to high capacity wide area networks. These courses cover topics which take the delegate through the whole installation process, from engineering standards and design, through site survey, to installation and quality audits. Programmed in a structured way to highlight the principles of installation, as well as the challenges of onsite installation, the courses are designed to benefit those with no prior industry knowledge as well as those looking to widen their experience.
The Wireless Communications Programme is a 1-week programme, providing delegates with a detailed overview of this fast growing networking and communications area. Through practical workshops as well as theory based sessions, delegates will develop their knowledge of wireless LAN including administration and security.

Senior managers needs are also addressed by providing the structure for a suitable decision support environment.
The ITIL Service Management course provides an excellent introduction to the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practice. It covers all of the IT support and delivery processes, and will enable course delegates to relate ITIL best practice to their own, or a clients organisation.
