FAQs:
What are the qualifications or prerequisites for enrolling in this course?
Participants should preferably have some basic IT or technical support experience, particularly in enterprise environments. Knowledge of networking basics (IP, SIP) is helpful but not required.
How long are the daily sessions and what is the total duration of the course?
Each session lasts 4 to 5 hours, including breaks and practical activities. Total duration: 5 training days, averaging 20 to 25 hours of hands-on training.
Can I apply what I learn directly in a work environment?
Yes. The course is designed to be highly practical, and you will emerge with ready-made templates and skills that support the implementation of smart solutions and direct support for meeting rooms.
How This Course is Different from Other Technical Support & Smart Solutions for Meeting Rooms Courses:
This course stands out by following the Cisco CLCOR (350-801) framework, offering professional-level depth and practical relevance for enterprise environments. It combines hands-on labs with CUCM, Webex, CMS, and Room Kits, and covers the full system lifecycle—from setup and security to automation, troubleshooting, and sustainability. Unlike standard AV support courses, it’s built for large-scale, hybrid workspaces and includes real-world case studies and a capstone project to apply learning in a practical, feedback-driven environment.
