Velisa Africa is the official Global Knowledge partner in Sub-Saharan Africa. Course details : http://www.globalknowledge.ae/courses/cisco/design/desgn.html

This is an instructor-led course designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to achieve associate level competency in network design. This is a structured and modular approach to designing networks that are scalable and resilient with well-defined failure domains. The course discusses routing and switching, the  design of Campus and Enterprise networks in detail. Data center, wireless networking, and real-time traffic infrastructure are introduced and their effects on the core network are discussed from the design perspective.
