PC and Mortar BoardBusiness Continuity & Disaster Recovery Training

These days most organisations rely on their Information & Communications Technology to carry on their critical business processes, whatever their size. However, it tends to be mainly the larger organisations that put plans and processes in place to enable them to continue their business in the face of various unplanned disasters occurring.

However, we are now able to offer instructor-led training on a one-to-one basis or to small groups covering everything that small businesses need to know about how to plan for business continuity and put processes in place to help you recover from disasters.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Topics can be tailored for your business needs and include:

  • Why Business Continuity is important
  • Typical disasters to consider
  • Identifying and prioritising critical business processes
  • Assessing the impact of not being able to carry out those processes
  • Identifying the potential threats and risks to those processes
  • Trading off threats and impacts against the cost of safeguards
  • Developing a Disaster Recovery Plan including technology staff & premises
  • Communicating the plans to staff, key customers and suppliers
  • Putting procedures and processes in place to ensure that you have the necessary information and data available whenever and wherever you need it
  • Testing the plans

PC and Mortar BoardCertification Focus - Cisco

Although there are many suppliers of data networking equipment, Cisco is the market leader in this area and therefore its accreditations for network engineers and technicians are the most sought after.

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

This certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN.

CCNA certification requires exam passes in either:

  • one exam: 640-802 CCNA, or
  • two exams: 640-822 ICND1 and 640-816 ICND2
There are no prerequisites, but CCNA certifications are only valid for three years. Re-certification can be achieved by either passing the current CCNA exam or the ICND2 exam or any 642 professional level or Cisco Specialist exam.


Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)

This certification validates the ability of network professionals to install, configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks with 100 to 500 or more nodes. Network Professionals who achieve CCNP have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless and security into the network.

CCNP certification requires exam passes in either:

  • four exams: 642-901 BSCI, 642-812 BCMSN, 642-825 ISCW and 642-845 ONT, or
  • three exams: 642-892 Composite, 642-825 ISCW and 642-845 ONT.
A current CCNA certification is required as a prerequisite. CCNP certifications are only valid for three years after which re-certification is required by either passing any 642 exam that is part of the professional level curriculum after 1 January 2006, or a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.

More information is available from the Cisco website

We can provide complete courses to help individuals prepare for the certification exams as listed below.
