1. Cisco Authorised Boot Camps

Our Cisco Boot Camps from Wave Technologies are now fully authorised by Cisco.

Our Cisco Boot Camps are developed and delivered through Wave's global partnership with IBM Corporation, a Cisco Learning Solutions Partner.

UNIQUE BENEFITS INCLUDE...

Pre-class Preparation. Upon enrolment, we will ship study manuals to each candidate, agree a learning plan and support them with expert one-on-one mentoring. The objective: to ensure that they are fully prepared when they join the class.

Up to 50% less classroom time. Pre-class preparation allows us to condense time required in the classroom by up to 50%. It enables our instructors to drill-down into the most complex topics and focus on hands-on practical learning, therefore maximizing your investment of time and money.

Cisco Authorized. Our classes are delivered by Cisco authorized CCSI® instructors using Cisco authorized materials - this guarantees the highest quality of training and that your staff hit the skills and certification goals you set out to achieve.

Guaranteed Certification. Cisco has raised the bar on its certification exams - to provide a conclusive measure of technical understanding and practical skills. Your employees will sit Cisco exams during the course of the Boot Camp class, and if they don't pass on the Boot Camp or within 30 days afterwards, we'll refund a portion of your investment.

6. Web Site Upgrades

We have now completed a major upgrade to our web site.

The following is a summary of the major changes we have made:

• The site is no longer framed, which makes navigation easier, while you can now save individual page links to your favourites folder making them easier to return to later.
  
• We have optimised the logos and graphics to make the site load faster.
  
• The online catalogue and store has been integrated into the main site, sharing the navigation and making it easier to switch backwards and forwards between product pages and general information pages.
  
• We have added sections listing new courses and special offers.
  
• We have also changed the product layout in the online catalogue and store so that products are listed more succinctly, but with extended information popups providing detailed information.
  
• Amongst other details the extended information popups now include information about exams, self-study hours and boot-camp durations.

We will continue to add to the details and fine tune the site, but do please let us know what you think of it - send us your feedback
