CertNexus Certified Internet of Things Practitioner (CIoTP) Training
Offered to the Jacksonville and Northeast Florida community through UNF Professional and Lifelong Learning in partnership with Applied Technology Academy — live online or in person, taught by ATA's practitioner instructors.
Course Overview
In this course students will learn general strategies for planning, designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining an IoT system through various case studies and by assembling and configuring an IoT device to work in a sensor network. Students will create an IoT device based on an ESP8266 microcontroller, implementing various common IoT features, such as analog and digital sensors, a web-based interface, MQTT messaging, and data encryption.
In this course, you will learn how to apply Internet of Things technologies to solve real-world problems.
You will:
- Plan an IoT implementation
- Construct and program an IoT device
- Communicate with an IoT device using wired and wireless connections
- Process sensor input and control an actuator on an IoT device
- Manage security, privacy, and safety risks on IoT projects
- Manage an IoT prototyping and development project throughout the development lifecycle
