Structured cabling certification — hands-on training with the AEM TestPro.

A course for installers who certify structured cabling. It walks you through the TestPro CV100 screen by screen: from first power-up, through limit selection and reference setting, to the autotest, FAIL troubleshooting, PoE measurements and the final report for the client.

Ten modules

From twisted pair to certification report

The first three modules are ready for review. The rest have their source material collected and are awaiting write-up — ordered to follow the real workflow of a field technician on site.
