Strategic Network Design Foundations (Part 1): Certified Professional Training
Course Introduction
The **Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP) – Part 1** is designed to elevate the knowledge and skills of professionals involved in network design within the project delivery life cycle. This foundation-level training provides a comprehensive understanding of the tendering process—from responding to Requests for Quotation (RFQ) or Invitation to Tender (ITT) through to tender award.
Participants will gain in-depth insights into design principles, standards, site surveys, and architectural considerations while also developing the ability to produce accurate, detailed submittals for client project teams. Learners completing this programme will receive an **attendance certificate, validating their achievement and commitment to professional development.
Program Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
* Understand and apply core **network infrastructure design principles**.
* Assess requirements, gather critical information, and address project constraints.
* Apply international **standards and best practices** in cabling, installation, and network applications.
* Conduct comprehensive **site surveys** for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
* Design cabling subsystems, including **ISP and OSP infrastructures**.
* Develop and evaluate network architectures covering **Ethernet, VoIP, CCTV, wireless, and access control systems**.
* Plan effective **pathways, containment, fire stopping, bonding, and earthing systems**.
* Understand **testing and commissioning processes** to ensure compliance and quality.
