CWNP - for Vendor Neutral Wireless Network Certification Training

For many years, CWNP has been one of the options for vendor-neutral certifications in the Wireless industry.



Originally founded in 1999 as a consortium of organizations and significant individuals, within the Wireless industry, that were of a similar opinion and that wanted to create a set of consistent standards with which to certify Wireless engineers. 


Alternatives include CompTIA, which offers vendor neutral certifications which are more widely accepted, and also satisfy government requiements such as US DoD directive 8140.

Why Certified Wireless Network Professional training is the right choice for you!


Wireless network engineers need to have a deep understanding of the latest software, tools, trends, and technologies available. Certifications establish individuals as knowledgeable and skilled in the wireless networking industry. These credentials validate their ability to install, configure, troubleshoot, and/or maintain wireless networks - giving them an edge against modern wireless technology challenges.


Our Certified Wireless Network Professional training - whether CWNA, CWSP, CWDP, CWNA - covers a multitude of topics ranging from RF Frequencies to Site Surveys and WLAN Analysis. These trainings provide the wireless network engineer with a solid foundation of knowledge, and the understanding required to advance within the industry.


From basic concepts, to more advanced knowledge, our CWNP training delivers hands-on experience that will benefit the novice as well as the experienced network engineer.


Successful students will acquire the necessary skills to administer and manage wireless operations in the enterprise, while utilizing hardware and software solutions from the industry’s leading manufacturers.


There are many benefits the certified engineer can realize, among which are:

  • Enhancing your job security
  • with greater knowledge and skills, you embody a raised level of competence and, therefore, increased value to your employer
  • Improving your chances of promotion
  • you could use this certification to gain an edge over other candidates when applying for a lateral transfer or new job
  • Improving your employer/company’s bottom line
  • by reducing network downtime, thus increasing productivity
  • Bringing your employer a greater ROI on their hardware purchases
  • by learning how to best utilize the available technology
  • Increasing customer trust
  • by validating your employer/company’s level of customer-perceived professionalism by obtaining industry-recognized certifications


As you become more knowledgeable, and externally validated by certifications, you develop a better position to join professional groups and comment about technical topics on social media discussions, thus raising the level of respect you command among your peers.


All this can start by attending class, getting top quality instruction, and sitting the associated certification exam!

  • General Information - Recommended Experience

    Getting Started? Recommended experience for CWNP Training Classes


    CWNP recommends that students have at least 1 year of experience in wireless networking, prior to attending CWNA (Wireless Network Administrator) class. This recommendation for length of experience also relates to the CWISA (Wireless IoT Solutions Administrator) training class.


    Quote from CWNP's website "Do you have an understanding of the fundamentals of wireless technology? Do you know how WLAN works and how its managed day-to-day? Do you have the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot and maintain wireless networks within small business or Enterprise deployments?"


    Wireless is significantly different from other forms of networking. Do not fall into the trap of thinking "I've been working in (routing and switching / wired) networking for years. Wireless will be easy." If you do not readily know what a "4-way handshake" is, or how to do "RF math", then CWNA is definitely the place to start. It gives the best possible foundation for working as a wireless network engineer.


    To attend the Professional level training classes, CWNP recommends 2-3 years of relevant experience.
