This microlearning is part of the Enterprise Wi-Fi Solutions: Designing for Performance & Security learning path, aligned with the nationally recognised unit ICTNWK561 – Design Enterprise Wireless Local Area Networks.

The full learning path includes:

  • Part 1: Document WLAN Network Configuration
  • Part 2: Research Client Needs of WLAN
  • Part 3: Implement Site Survey
  • Part 4: Develop Specifications for Upgrade
  • Part 5: Model Local Area Network
  • Part 6: Determine Components for LAN
  • Part 7: Present Local Area Network Design

Once you complete all five microlearnings, you can upgrade to the Professional plan. This provides access to the accredited unit. Successful completion will lead to a Statement of Attainment for ICTNWK561 - Design enterprise wireless local area network, issued by South Sydney College (RTO Code: 45279). This nationally recognised outcome positions you to confidently model and validate high-performance WLAN designs that support enterprise-scale networking.
