In this highly intense course, students will be given the skills necessary to install, configure and maintain a Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) network, including techniques on how to properly clean optical fiber, the requirements for fiber testing, and how to turn up a MSTP node. Students will also be taught how to properly install and configure linear and ring dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) topologies. The course will cover the various system cards including, amplifier cards, multiplexer and demultiplexer cards, and transponder cards. An overview of the system shelves including the M12, M6, and M2 shelves will be covered and students will learn how each shelf is used in amplifier, terminal, and ROADM node configurations. The course will cover the use of the Cisco TransportPlanner, showing students how they will design a DWDM network and use the associated output to configure the Cisco ONS MSTP Node. In this MSTP basic training course, students will also cover linear, protected and unprotected DWDM circuits, WSS-based ring and SMR-based network topologies.

The instructor was the best teacher I have ever had at any level. I learned more in the last 7 days than I did studying on my own for the past 6 months. The material was presented in a way that was easy for everyone to understand. He by far had the most knowledge of anyone I have ever met in the subject and I hope to learn more from him in the future.

Instructor was very intelligent and had lots of experience to draw on, outside of the written paterial that made it more interesting. I was very pleased with him.

Incredible instructor. The coursework covered 300 topics in 10 domains, and he was able to speak intelligently on all of them. Better, his teaching style was relaxed and informal, which lessened the feelings of impending doom about the exam we were about to undertake. He knew exactly which sections of the material to emphasize, when we needed a break, and in many cases was speaking ahead of the slides (he knew exactly what was coming up before turning the slides). Rare gem.
- Thomas Dunn

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the pen testing and ethical hacking. He was great in delivering the lectures, lab and was very helpful in having us complete the capture the flag exercises. In addition, he provided valuable insight about security in general and pen testing in particular.

One of the most intelligent and well-spoken instructors I have ever had the privilege to work with. His in depth knowledge of the 10 domains in CISSP surpassed my expectations as well as the expectations of my classmates. His teaching style kept the otherwise dry information very memorable and exciting. I would HIGHLY recommend this course to my peers.

My instructor is a freaking genius, however he really enjoys bringing the info and material to life so in a way you do catch a bit of genius by the end of the course.

Fantastic instructor! Really knew the material, and was adept at communicating in an understandable manner to those without an IT background. I couldn't ask for a more genuine, concerned instructor who had her students successful learning as the main motivator for everything she did. Simply superb!

Excellent instructor. One of the best I have had in over 27 years in the IT business. Genuinely cared about the students understanding the subject material and their success in passing the exam. She taught how to think and reason to pass the test. That is something not found in any text book.

Instructor did a fantastic job of delivering a large set of very dense course material cogently to the class. She obviously had the material down cold and could easily break down elements of the different knowledge domains in clear explanations.
