The Telecommunications Industry Association's (TIA) Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP) certification validates that an individual has the core knowledge and skills required by manufacturers, channel partners and end users to implement convergence technology solutions. CTP shortens the path to vendor-specific certifications.

Endorsed by leading manufacturers such as Avaya, NEC, Cisco and Toshiba, the vendor-neutral CTP certification is an ideal foundation for product-specific certifications from these and other manufacturers.

Our Official CTP courseware maps to the three CTP exam core competency areas: Data Networking, Telephony Networking and Convergence Technology.

CTP 2007 Exam Study Guide
 
This official exam study guide will help you prepare for TIA exam TT0-201, Convergence Technologies Professional.

The CTP exam study guide contains:

CTP Exam overview and information on how to take the exam; Complete listing of all exam domains, objectives and subobjectives; Summarised content sections for all sub-objective sections; Sample exam questions for each objective area; and Key reading and Internet resources.

Data Networking Course Book

The Data Networking course teaches students the fundamentals of networking. Students will learn the vendor-independent networking skills and concepts necessary for entry-level professionals seeking employment in the Information Technology (IT) or telecommunications industries.

In Data Networking, students will learn to identify networking models and topologies, describe the function and purpose of network operating systems, and monitor system performance. Students will learn how various networking components map to the layers of the Open Systems Interconnection reference model (OSI/RM).

Students will also learn about the process of packetisation; learn to identify key networking protocols; and explore the nature, purpose and operating essentials of protocols that make up the TCP/IP suite. Students will learn about various LAN, WAN and wireless standards, and about wireless vulnerabilities and security. Students will explore the routing process, study Internet addressing, learn to identify address classes, learn about the use of private addresses, and learn to perform subnetting. Students will also learn how to use various TCP/IP diagnostic and troubleshooting tools.

Telephony Networking Course Book

The Telephony Networking course provides detailed coverage of telephony standards and best practises for EMEA countries and North America. Students will learn the vendor-independent telephony skills and concepts necessary for entry-level professionals seeking employment in the telecommunications industry.

In Telephony Networking, students will learn about basic telephony concepts, including loop-start trunks, common telephony standards, and PBX elements. From Line A and Line B to exchange switches, students will learn how voice and data are routed across the global public switched telephone network.

Students will also learn about key infrastructure issues, including how equipment must be properly tested and secured. This course also focuses on specific troubleshooting techniques. Students will learn how to use common troubleshooting tools, including a digital multimeter, a tone-and-probe kit, a line-test handset (i.e., butt set), and other tools that allow you to wire analogue and digital lines. Finally, students will learn about analogue and digital signaling, including analogue loop-start methods, ISDN and SS7.

Convergence Technologies Course Book

The Convergence Technologies course teaches students the fundamental concepts, standards and practises related to converged networks. Students will learn the vendor-independent networking skills and concepts required for entry-level professionals seeking employment in the Information Technology (IT) or telecommunications industries.

In Convergence Technologies, students will learn to identify the characteristics of circuit-based and packet switched technologies, identify differences between the call flow in convergence-based calls and the call flow in circuit-based calls, and identify the types of signalling protocols for converged networks. Students will identify the transport protocols used for real-time communications, and learn about the functions of gatekeepers and gateways. Students will also compare and contrast the three major signalling protocols for VoIP. Students will learn how to determine whether an existing network is capable of supporting convergent services, and they will identify the specific elements required for a successful VoIP implementation.

Students will also learn about common convergence devices, learn about codecs and their bandwidth requirements, and describe the impact of compressing voice in a network. Students will learn about various wireless convergence technologies, identify standards for transporting facsimile across convergent networks, and identify the features of presencing and unified messaging. Students will also identify methods for providing video services through a converged solution.

Students will define delay, latency, jitter and wander, and identify their impact on real-time communications; and students will also identify the importance of a jitter buffer. Students will learn about the need for Quality of Service (QoS) and identify QoS technologies used in converged networks. In addition, students will learn to identify the factors that affect the bandwidth of packetised voice, and identify requirements for transporting modem and fax transmissions through a converged solution. Students will also identify industry standards for determining voice and video quality, troubleshoot convergent communications over wireless networks, and identify security concerns and solutions.

All three CTP course books offer Case Studies about real-world skills applications. Guided, step-by-step labs provide opportunities to practise new skills. Students can challenge themselves and review their skills after each lesson in the Lesson Summary and Lesson Review sections. Additional skill reinforcement is provided in Activities, Optional Labs and Lesson Quizzes.

Exam:

This course prepares you to take the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP) exam.

There are no formal prerequisites for the CTP exam. Nevertheless, this exam is quite rigorous. It is not meant to certify entry-level convergence workers.

It is suggested that entry-level workers take the Certified in Convergent Network Technologies (CCNT) exam and then obtain the required knowledge to take the CTP exam. The CTP exam is designed to certify professional–level knowledge.
 

On completion of this Curriculum, you can apply for the Internationally-Recognised TT1-201 Convergence Technologies Professional examination at any Authorized Testing Centre. The examination fee is £84 +VAT.

Each delivery of the exam includes a random selection of 65 multiple choice questions. The examination period is 90 minutes. To achieve a passing score on the TT0-201 CTP exam, candidates must correctly answer at 75%. Upon completion of the CTP exam, candidates will receive a score report from the testing centre. Candidates who pass the CTP exam are CTP certified by TIA and will receive a CTP certification immediately.
 
You can find or register for your nearest exam centres from Prometric or Pearson Vue testing centres.
