How does the Wireless Adjuster Program fit alongside the CWNP program today? "The CWNP program has two holes that I see now." CWNP courses don't provide enough of best practice assessment, best practice knowledge, and then, of course, remediation and troubleshooting, and the use of "lightweight tools". The gap this program fills sits between CWNA and the other two CWNP certifications for the purpose of hands-on experience and moving you toward those two certifications. Listen to see if the Wireless Adjuster Program is right for you.
