ITU Select MarQuest for Wireless Training

MarQuest have been selected to provide wireless LAN Training to IT staff at the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) headquarters in Geneva.

The training will cover a wide range of topics from installation and administration through to security and troubleshooting techniques. MarQuest’s marketing director Alistair Meakin said “We are delighted to have been selected by the ITU-T. I believe this reflects well on our range of technical knowledge in Wireless LAN technology and on our abilities to provide world-class training.

The ITU selected MarQuest from a competitive bid process involving companies across Europe. Comments like this from Paul Cox at Humberside Police were a key factor in the ITU’s decision to choose MarQuest:

“I would like to say that MarQuest give a first class service ….To sum up as a Force we are more than happy with MarQuest and their courses I think they are invaluable to any company with a wireless infrastructure”

The seven day course will be presented to the ITU in September by MarQuest instructor Peter Mackenzie. Peter is a highly experienced Wireless LAN expert and has delivered numerous courses internationally on wireless LAN and on network troubleshooting.

MarQuest is a CWNP Education centre. CWNP is administered by Planet3 in the USA which is a vendor-independent wireless LAN training scheme. Recipients of CWNP training courses receive professionally produced courseware which is regularly updated to keep apace with technological developments. CWNP study guides are available from mainstream publishers such as McGrawHill and Sibex. Certifications for wireless LAN administration and security can be obtained via Thomson Prometric Test Centres.
