Internet of Things (IOT)

In this Certified Internet of Things (IoT) Practitioner course, participants 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. This IoT Practitioner course also prepares participants for taking the ANSI accredited CertNexus Certified Internet of Things (IoT) Practitioner.

At the end of this course the participants will be able to:

  • 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.

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 participant is interested in learning more about embedded systems, microcontroller programming, IoT security, and the development life cycle for IoT projects. While participants 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 is not required. This course prepares participants for taking the CertNexus Certified Internet of Things (IoT) Practitioner (Exam ITP-110).
