IP PLATFORM: Certificate in Next Generation Telecoms

IP PLATFORM is the A to Z of telecommunication technologies. It provides an appreciation of legacy technologies and then expands this into a thorough understanding of the technologies used to successfully converge voice, video and data services onto a single, all-IP network.

The programme starts off providing a “big picture” of how and why each technology is used and its role in the NGN. Once the technologies and acronyms are correctly positioned, it then drills down and provides detail of the technologies. The IP Platform Certificate programme is an intensive journey that addresses the need to develop transmission, telecommunication and IP skills in the ICT industry.

IP PLATFORM is a broad foundation you can build your future career on. An understanding of the workings of all-IP, NGNs is essential to fully leverage and implement Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) which are the next wave of networking technologies. Without the thorough understanding which IP PLATFORM provides, it will be difficult to fully and effectively implement virtualised and software centric telecoms infrastructures.

The benefit of a skills programme is that it enables your organisation to leverage Seta Discretionary grants plus maximise points claimed on the Skills Development element of their B-BBEE Scorecard.
