Welcome to Tech 2000’s MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professional: Advanced Industry Networking (MEF-CECP) digital learning!

This course provides an overview of Carrier Ethernet technologies, the MEF specifications for services and how these can be delivered over carrier core. In addition, there is information on metro and access networks along with other services deployed over a range of core transport and access technologies. It also provides a solid introduction to the principles of network and service design.

Carriers have offered connectivity services based on traditional TDM, Frame Relay, ATM, DSL, and even SDH for many years. However, customers now use Ethernet as the interface of choice for virtually all services and applications. The cost of operating separate networks to provide each service, as well as the need to sell higher bandwidth services than can be offered with traditional networks, is forcing carriers to move to newer, more cost-effective technologies such as Ethernet, Backbone Bridging, IP, and MPLS.

The path to becoming a MEF Carrier Ethernet Certified Professional (MEF-CECP) is a rewarding one in terms of job opportunity, knowledge, and prestige. MEF-CECPs worldwide, have increased five-fold since 2015. The benefits of certification include increased opportunities for career advancement and earnings and a documented way to demonstrate knowledge, experience and competency to employers and the industry. New MEF-CECPs join an elite set of professionals and thought leaders who have proven expertise in Carrier Ethernet and through networking with them gain significant industry contacts. Certification can also demonstrate commitment to professional development and overall dedication to the industry.
