This course is intended to teach the skills that are needed to successfully install, configure, and use Cloud Pak for Network Automation (CP4NA) 2.1. This course is the second part of instructor-led or self-paced training in Cloud Pak for Network Automation and focuses on hands-on lab exercises to describe, deploy, and manage VOIP and telco components. The prerequisite course DL10032G focuses on the fundamental principles, architecture, and terminology of CP4NA.
Virtual Learning
This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
