FAQs

What will you learn in this Cisco voice and video collaboration administration training?

You'll learn the specific protocols, services and software that make it possible to guarantee that your collaboration network never drops calls or shows a jitter or lag during any video calls. You'll learn how to develop a collaboration network with QoS in mind, test existing networks for QoS metrics, isolate problems and address them.

Who should take this Cisco voice and video QoS course?

Systems administrators, network administrators and collaboration engineers will want to take this course. If your job calls for you making updates and configurations on the hardware or software of a collaboration network, you owe it to yourself to understand how quality of service is configured on Cisco networks and how to optimize it for yours.

Is this training in Cisco collaboration quality of service associated with any certifications?

No, this course isn't directly associated with any one certification. This is a relatively short course meant for fairly experienced collaboration professionals who need to know everything they can about implementing and maintaining Quality of Service in video and voice systems. That relates to the CCNP Collaboration, but isn't all of the contents of that cert.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in quality of service for Cisco voice and video?

The CCNP Collaboration is probably the best certification to consider after taking this course in Cisco Quality of Service. The core exam for CCNP Collaboration, 350-801 CLCOR, has a whole section on Quality of Service, and one of the concentration exams, 300-815 CLACCM includes Quality of Service as an important part of the exam.

Why should you take this voice and video quality of service training?

You should take this course on Quality of Service for Cisco collaboration networks so that you can choose what are the most important services on your network and ensure they're never interrupted. The out-of-the-box prioritization settings for voice calls and video conferences won't match your needs, so learn to optimize and tweak them.

Who is this for?

This Quality of Service (QoS) training is considered associate-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network administrators with at least a year of experience with Quality of Service (QoS) and experienced network administrators looking to validate their Cisco skills.

What our learners say

Having access to on-demand labs that I could spin up instantly was very helpful. I didn’t have to have a home environment with a bunch of virtual machines spun up. Or worry about destroying things.

I didn't ever think I'd have the position I have now.
Jenna B. | Service Operations Manager
This is the gold standard of video training. You always hear in grade school or college that the best teachers are the ones who are passionate in their field. The CBT Nuggets team are extremely passionate and get you motivated for the material.
