Certified Internet of Things Practitioner (CIoTP)

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises a wide range of benefits for industry, energy and utility companies, municipalities, healthcare, and consumers. Data can be collected in extraordinary volume and detail regarding almost anything worth measuring, such as public health and safety, the environment, industrial and agricultural production, energy, and utilities. New data analysis tools have been optimized for the massive amounts of data that IoT produces, enabling well-informed decisions to be made quickly.

Appendix A: Mapping Course Content to Certified Internet of Things Practitioner (CIoTP) (Exam ITP-110)

This course is designed for IT professionals with baseline skills in computer hardware, software support, and development who want to learn how to design, develop, implement, operate, and manage Internet of Things devices and related systems. The student is interested in learning more about embedded systems, microcontroller programming, IoT security, and the development life cycle for IoT projects.

While students will gain hands-on experience assembling a prototype IoT device and using software development tools, these activities are closely guided, so previous experience in electronics assembly and programming are not required. This course prepares students for taking the CertNexus Certified Internet of Things (IoT) Practitioner (Exam ITP-110).

To ensure your success in this course you should be an experienced computer user who is comfortable setting up and configuring computers and electronic devices.

You should have a genuine interest in ensuring that emerging technologies are ethical, trusted, and inclusive. It may also be helpful if you have an understanding of concepts related to emerging technologies. Practical experience implementing data science, AI, and/or IoT to solve business problems is encouraged but not required.

You can obtain the appropriate knowledge of emerging technologies concepts by attending any or all of the following courses:

  • IoTBIZ™ (Exam IOZ-110)
  • DSBIZ™ (Exam DSZ-110): Data Science for Business Professionals
  • AIBIZ™ (Exam AIZ-110)
  • ETBIZ: Emerging Technology for the Business Professional (Exam ETZ-110)
