CMP Media's TECHXNY/PC Expo Offers Wireless Certification Prep CoursePRNewswire-FirstCall CMP Media announces that the Certified Wireless Networking Administrator (CWNA) Jump-Start Course has been added to the TECHXNY/PC EXPO program in response to conference attendees' request for hands-on certification sessions. TECHXNY (http://www.techxny.com/) will be held September 15-18, 2003 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The event is a full week of business and technology conferences, tutorials, special events, and expositions -- including New York's technology icon, PC EXPO, and the inaugural NETWORKS For Business New York Conference & Expo. This Certified Wireless Network Professional training and certification program from Planet3 Wireless was created for individuals who administer, install, design, and/or support IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless local area networks (WLANs). This vendor-neutral technical training program consists of four levels of certification, starting with the CWNA and culminating with the Certified Wireless Network Engineer (CWNE). The Jump-Start Course preps attendees for further self-study and is the launching pad for final certification. All attendees will be provided with a copy of the CWNA Official Study Guide, a sample certification test, and a 20 percent discount on the CWNA certification exam. Dave Molta will teach the CWNA Jump-Start Course Wednesday, September 17th. Mr. Molta is Assistant Professor at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies and Director of SU's Center for Emerging Network Technologies. He is also a Senior Technology Editor of CMP Media's Network Computing, where he coordinates the magazine's coverage of mobile and wireless technologies. Mr. Molta has over 20 years of industry experience including senior management positions in networks, systems, and user services. A recipient of multiple teaching awards, he brings a high-energy interactive approach to the classroom. "Wireless networking is an extremely important area of interest for our attendees. Offering this wireless certification prep course means technology professionals from the New York area will have access to the latest tools and information to enhance their professional development and consequently benefit their employers," said Christina Condos, TECHXNY Show Director. Surveys of TECHXNY conference attendees have shown an increasing demand for practical hands-on trainings, boot camps and certification programs. The CWNA Jump Start Course is just one program created to meet that demand. Other training sessions are being planned during TECHNXY and will address relevant topics for technology professionals including storage, security, network management, IT cost optimization, Windows2003 Server, and Linux.
