Strategic Network Infrastructure Design: Certified Professional Programme
Introduction
The **Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP)** programme is designed to significantly elevate the knowledge and capabilities of learners within the **project delivery life cycle**. It explores the complexities of responding to **Requests for Quotation (RFQ)** and **Invitations to Tender (ITT)**, guiding participants through every stage—from tender preparation to contract award.
Learners will gain an in-depth understanding of the **tendering process, bid evaluation, and submission requirements**, while developing the expertise to deliver **detailed, accurate, and professional network design solutions** to clients.
Programme Objectives
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:
* Apply **core design principles** for network infrastructure.
* Align network design with **international standards** and best practices.
* Conduct **site surveys** and formulate actionable reports.
* Design and integrate **ISP & OSP cabling systems** within modern network environments.
* Apply architectural design for **Ethernet, VoIP, CCTV, wireless, and access control systems**.
* Manage **fire stopping, bonding, earthing, and environmental safety requirements**.
* Understand the **complete design process** within contractual and professional frameworks.
* Formulate and evaluate **RFPs/RFQs**, scope reviews, and bid submissions.
* Manage **stakeholder communication, expectations, and change processes** effectively.
* Deliver **as-built documentation, testing, commissioning, and project closure** in compliance with warranties and standards.
