Therefore, the installation portion can be easily taken out, and replaced with a module dealing with computer operating systems, for example. At the same time, Nobles points out that for a class with experienced data techs who have little experience in cable TV, the operating system review could be taken out, while modules on aerial and underground installations could be added. Passing on knowledge While the curriculum is always important, the teachers and trainers who actually conduct the classes are no less important, says Nobles. SCTE, of course, has a huge training portfolio it will be promoting during the show. A three-part seminar on telephony will take attendees through the fundamentals of telephony, HFC telephony and IP telephony.
People can attend one, two or all three days.
The three workshops include design and set-up, maintenance and troubleshooting, and application. This first-time conference is targeted to trainers or anyone involved in training, whether they deal with technology, customer care, human resources or safety. The conference will include four keynote speakers and breakout sessions where attendees can build their training skills and actually create training plans for their own companies. NCTI will also be at the show, previewing its entire training services and courses. Career path programs are available in technical and non-technical areas, and courses can be applied toward college credits.
