Certified Internet of Things Practitioner - CIoTP

See Class Details

CertNexus’ Certified Internet of Things Practitioner (or CIoTP) is a comprehensive training program designed for a wide variety of job functions in building foundational knowledge and skills of the important concepts and components that are part of an IoT ecosystem.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises a wide range of benefits for industry, energy and utility companies, municipalities, healthcare, and consumers. Data can be collected in extraordinary volume and detail regarding almost anything worth measuring, such as public health and safety, the environment, industrial and agricultural production, energy and utilities. New data analysis tools have been optimized for the massive amounts of data that IoT produces, enabling well-informed decisions to be made quickly.

But putting IoT systems into place can be a complicated proposition, and fraught with hazards. Solutions may involve devices and technologies from many different vendors, requiring a good understanding of software and hardware and strategies to integrate them, as well as the risks associated with security, privacy, and the safety of those whose working and living environments are managed by these systems.

IT professionals often have little or no experience working with embedded systems, sensor networks, actuators, real-time systems, and other components that are common to IoT, so this class provides a foundation for understanding how these components work with other systems that IT professionals typically have more experience working with—such as networks, cloud computing, and applications running on servers, desktop computers, and mobile devices.

In this training, students will learn general strategies for planning, designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining an IoT system through various case studies.

This 3-day training is designed for IT professionals with baseline skills in computer hardware, software support, and development who want to learn how to design, develop, implement, operate, and manage Internet of Things devices and related systems. This training also offers training in embedded systems, microcontroller programming, IoT security, and the development life cycle for IoT projects.
