SDN Intensive - One Day Program
to Achieve Accredited ONF SDN Certification (OCSA)








In this full day program, participants will benefit from a structured day of training culminating with an optional exam to achieve the ONF Certified SDN Associate certificate (OCSA).


This training and certification will focus on and formally certify that the successful candidate has vendor-neutral conceptual knowledge of the major domains of networking practices that support the theory and practice of Software Defined Networking (SDN).

It presupposes foundational knowledge in computer networking practices, and will validate conceptual knowledge in how those computer networking foundations are affected in an SDN environment. It is an entry-level certification examination for technical professionals asserting concept-level mastery of the domain of SDN.

At the end of training, participants will have the opportunity to take the OCSA exam for an additional fee (USD 150).

Complete details on the OCSA certificate program can be found here: https://www.opennetworking.org/skills-associate
