Overview

The goal of this five-day accelerated course is to provide professionals with the basic data, voice, and converged networking skills necessary to function in a variety of information technology positions including emerging broadband and "voice over" technologies. Telecommunications Industry Association's Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP) certification is the premier certification that validates the skills required to excel in the role of data, voice, and converged support professionals, channel partner sales professionals, technical representatives, advanced technical engineers, and application sales engineers.

Firebrand Training's Program for the CTP Certification affords students the ability to live, learn, and take the actual CTP exams on-site at our education centres in the US and Europe.

Our program is delivered in a distraction-free, immersed environment with on-site, deluxe accommodation - utilizing a curriculum adapted specifically for accelerated learning. Our instructors are cross-certified industry professionals (ranging from renowned authors to senior information technology consultants) with extensive real-world knowledge that is effectively relayed throughout our Firebrand Trainings.

Instructors are available at all times to provide individual and group attention, lead lab exercises and practice sessions, and ensure the students' success. Our attention to detail shows in our unsurpassed instruction and customer service, our classroom and testing facilities, and our individual and corporate success stories.

Exam Track

The TIA CTP validates the knowledge and abilities of individuals with at least nine months of experience in network support or administration

TIA CTP Exam

The exam tests three domain areas:

  • Data Networking
  • Telephony Networking
  • Converged Technologies

The CTP exam candidate is responsible for achieving a passing score on the CTP exam. CTP exam items are based upon CTP exam objectives. All deliveries of the CTP exam will be subject to the following:

  • Each delivery of the exam includes a random selection of 65 CTP exam items and six survey questions at the end of the exam

The examination period is 75 minutes.

To achieve a passing score on the TT0-101 CTP exam, candidates must:

Correctly answer at least 49 of the 65 exam items.

Exam items offer three to four solutions or options. Exam candidates must select the one best solution for each item.

Upon completion of the CTP exam, candidates will receive a score report from the testing center. Candidates who pass the CTP exam are CTP certified by TIA and will receive a CTP certification.

"I attended the Cyber Crime Foundation course with very little knowledge.. The instructor was fantastic, explained subjects in depth and allowed a good amount of time for questions. I came away with lots of knowledge ready to use what I''ve learnt in my day-to-day role."
JS. (8/1/2024 (Mandag) til 12/1/2024 (Fredag))

"I very much enjoyed the training! It is a must for police officers new to Cyber Crime Units and is delivered at a good pace. Very good trainer with exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm."
Steve Lloyd, West Mercia Police. (8/1/2024 (Mandag) til 12/1/2024 (Fredag))

"I have really enjoyed the course, although I have been a self-professed nerd for many years, there was still some knowledge I took from this course. The tutorials on practical applications is something I will take away and use."
