Pre-course skills assessment:
Our MEF-CECP pre-course skills assessment is free, and a quick way for candidates to check if they have the prerequisite level of knowledge in order to succeed on the course, at the exam and in the workplace. The assessment can be taken online and checks knowledge of fundamentals such as IP, WAN and Next Generation network principles.
Online learning modules:
For candidates whom the pre-course skills assessment identifies knowledge gaps, Perpetual Solutions offers a range of online, self-learning modules. These modules cover all the areas of fundamental knowledge required for MEF-CECP training including:
- IP & Transport Layer Technologies
- Ethernet Principles for the LAN Environment
- Layer 1 Transport Technologies
- Layer 2 Transport Technologies
- Layer 2.5 Transport Technologies
- Access Technologies
Certification & Exam:
The exam is a 1 hour 45 minutes online exam consisting of 80 multiple choice questions and is delivered under MEF advised test conditions, in a virtual or physical format. When booking the course, we are able to book candidates in for the exam at the same time.
Candidates sitting the Carrier Ethernet Services Explained course can choose to either sit the MEF-CECP exam as part of an optional Day 5 MEF Exam Readiness Session. This is an optional session designed to greatly increase exam performance ensuring as many candidates as possible pass the exam first time. If this is your first MEF exam we highly advise adding the Exam Readiness Session to your package. For those taking the Exam Readiness Session we also offer a free retake of the exam should anyone fail to pass the exam first time. Recertifying candidates or those wishing not to add the Exam Readiness Session can take the exam virtually in the days following the workshop.
Due to the fast moving nature of the technology and continual improvements and additions the MEF makes to the MEF standards the MEF-CECP certification expires after 3 years.
