Huawei Certified ICT Professional – HCIP

Course Description

The Huawei Certified ICT Professional (HCIP R&S) course targets enterprise network engineers involved in design and maintenance, as well as professionals who wish to develop an in-depth knowledge of routing, switching, network efficiency and optimization technologies. HCIP R & S consists of three units namely; Implementing Enterprise Routing and Switching Network (IERS), Improving Enterprise Network Performance (IENP), and Implementing Enterprise Network Engineering Project (IEEP), which includes advanced IPV4 routing and switching technology principles, network security, high availability and QoS, as well as application of the covered technologies in Huawei products.
