Dear Colleague
Welcome to our latest technical training directory. I am proud to present the latest collection of engineering and technology courses that we present throughout the world.
Wehavebeenprovidingpractical training forover16years throughout theUSA,Canada,UnitedKingdom, Ireland,Australia,SingaporeandNewZealand.Althoughweareoneofthelargestprovidersofthissortoftrainingandhavetrained a remarkable 200,000 engineers and technicians in the past few years alone, we are not content with resting on our laurels and continue to achieve an amazing 99.8 % satisfaction rating in which delegates indicated the course was "good", "very good" or "excellent". We want the course that you attend to be an outstanding, motivating experience where you walk away and say - "that was truly a great course with a brilliant instructor and we will derive enormous benefit from it".
Our courses are not academic but are rather designed to immediately provide you with the practical skills which will contribute to your productivity and your company's success. Our courses are vendor independent, free of bias and targeted solely at improving your productivity.
We have a remarkable group of instructors whom we believe are among the best in the industry. Of greatest benefit is that they have real and relevant practical experience in both industry and training.
Our policy is to continually re-examine and develop new training programs, update and improve them. Our aim is to anticipate the shifting and often complex technological changes facing everyone in engineering and business and to provide courses of the absolutely highest standards - helping you to improve your productivity.
We put tremendous efforts into our documentation with award winning manuals which are well researched, practical and down to earth in support of the course; so much so that many delegates have remarked that the manual itself justifies the course fees.
I would urge you to consider our courses and call us if you have any queries about them. We would be glad to explain in more detail what the courses entail and can even arrange for our instructors to give you a call to talk through the course contents with you and how it will benefit yourselves.
Finally, thank you for being such tremendously supportive clients. We are blessed with having such brilliant people attending our courses who are enthusiastic about improving themselves and benefiting their companies with new insights and methods of improving their productivity. Your continual feedback is invaluable in making our courses even more appropriate for today's fast moving technology challenges.
We want to be your career partner for life - to ensure that your work is both satisfying and productive and we will do whatever it takes to achieve this.
Yours sincerely
(CPEng,BSEE,B.Sc(Hons),MBA) Technical Director
P.S. Don't forget our no-risk guarantee - we give you a 100% guarantee of satisfaction or your money back.
A Message from IDC Technologies Technical Director,Steve Mackay
The objective of training today is to gain knowledge and experience in the latest developments in technology through cost effective methods. The investment in training, by companies and individuals is growing each year as the need is recognised to keep topical and up to date in the industry in which they are operating.
In addition to the quality workshops which IDC Technologies present on a world-wide basis, all IDC courses are also available foron-site(inhouse)presentationatourclient'spremises.
ON-SITE TRAINING
On-site training is a cost-effective method of training for companies with several employees to train in a particular area. Organisations can save valuable training dollars by holding courses on-site, where costs are significantly less. Other benefits are IDC's ability to focus on particular systems and equipment so that attendees obtain the greatest benefit from the training.
All on-site workshops are tailored to meet with our client's training requirements and courses can be presented at beginners, intermediate or advanced levels based on the knowledge and experience of the delegates in attendance. Specific areas ofinterest to the client can also be covered in more detail.
CUSTOmISED TRAINING
In addition to standard on-site training, IDC Technologies specialises in developing customised courses to meet our client's training needs. IDC has the engineering and training expertise and resources to work closely with clients in preparing and presenting specialised courses.
You may select components of current IDC workshops to be combined with additional topics or we can design a course entirely to your specifications. The benefits to companies in adopting this option is reflected in the increased efficiency of their operations and equipment.

The Program
This is a truly hands-on workshop in thesense that youwill spendover 70%of thecourse time in setting up TCP/IP basednetworksandtroubleshootingproblems.Wehavedistilledallthepracticaltipsandtricksin maintaining and troubleshootingTCP/IPbasednetworksintothishard-hittingthree-dayworkshop.Commencingwith a simpleintroduction to the hardware level ofEthernet, you will quickly move ontocoverageoftheInternet(IP)layer.
The host-to-host orTCP layer will then becoveredinconsiderablepracticaldetail.TheapplicationlayerofTCP/IPwillbecoveredbyadetailedexaminationofprotocolssuchasBootp,DHCP,SNMPandDNS.ThevitalbutsimpleTCP/IPutilitiessuchasping,ARPandtracertwillthenbetestedoutonthenetwork.The SNMP protocol will be looked at withhandsontests.Finally,youwillconstructaVirtualLANandVirtualPrivateNetworkandconfigureasimplefirewall.
One of the best ways to learn and retainyour knowledge iswith hands-on sessionswhereyouwillgainabroadrangeofskillsthat every competent network engineerneeds in his skills toolbox.We believe thisworkshopprovidesthisknow-how.

The Program
Theuseofwirelesscommunicationsisbeingrapidly implemented in the industrialenvironment with great success providedcertain ground rules are applied such asensuring a robust wireless link, correctintegrationwith thewiredcommunicationssystemsandproperdatasecurity.
The most important objective of wirelesscommunications networks must be toachieve similar capacities, bandwidths,responsiveness and availability to that ofwirebasedcommunications.Thisworkshopcommences with an overview of wirelesscommunications and how radio works. Adetailed examination is then made ofWirelessPersonalAreaNetworksorWPANs(Bluetooth/IEEE802.15)whicharesimilartotheirwiredcounterpartsbutbasedonradio.Wireless Local Area Networks or WLANs(IEEE 802.11) are then reviewed with apractical comparison to thestandardwiredLANs.WirelessWideAreaNetworksarethenexamined with an emphasis on how theyare expanding to provide broadbandservices.
Pre-requisites A basic working knowledge of datacommunicationsandapplications isuseful,butisnotessential.
