UWA

UniFi Wireless Admin

The UniFi Wireless Admin (UWA) course is for administrators looking to optimise their wireless environments and deployments, by learning RF fundamentals and best practices. The course provides admins with the tools they need to ensure high density environments are adequality designed and optimised.

Learning is reinforced with course materials and practical lab activities using the UniFi Controllers and Access Points.

Students that complete the course and pass the exam will be fully certified as a UniFi Wireless Administrator and receive their official certificate from Ubiquiti Networks.

Course Duration:
Day 1: 12:00 to 17:00 (Follows directly after UFSP)
Day 2: 09:00 to 16:30 + 60 Minute Exam

Training Includes: 
Morning Snacks, Lunch, Afternoon Tea

*Please Note: The Ubiquiti UFSP course is mandatory as part of this training.
