WhizzieKit is a training aid, created by OTT, for use on our optical networking courses. WhizzieKit is the preferred optical network system supplier in the case studies used in our CONA (Certified Optical Network Associate) and CONE (Certified Optical Network Engineer) certification training programmes.
WhizzieKit has full catalogues of products, just like you might get from a real optical network system provider, with a wide range of products. However the extent of the information is focused so that it is easier for you to get to grips with during the course, and so that we can easily bring out specific learning points. Also using WhizzieKit on our optical networking courses helps to provide a visual representation of an optical networking system, without the logistics issues and time-consuming and unnecessary distractions that come from using real optical networking kit!
Why is it called WhizzieKit? Well we all know that cats rule the internet, so we felt our network system had to pay homage….. and the name also reflects the fact that it’s a little light-hearted…. all part of making training enjoyable.
You will use the WhizzieKit X-series products on the Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA) course, and the C-Series, CD-series and T-series products on the Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE) course. You’ll have access to the catalogues for the various series are included on the online course resources and also to video presentations from Sean Power, the Sales Manager of WhizzieKit.
WhizzieKit also has a physical presence on live courses so that you can explore the products, get a feel for the components, and use them for exercises such as working out what kit is needed in what order at each end of a system to produce different optical networking solutions for the course assignment. This really encourages interaction, discussion and facilitates group work. We promise you’ll forget it’s not real when you are discussing the issues with team-mates as you work on your assignment/s.
