Demonstrate the highest levels of knowledge, skills and competency in network cable infrastructure. Undertake copper and fibre cabling installation, termination and testing to the highest quality whilst complying to industry best practice and standards to ensure a right first-time approach.
The Certified Network Cable Installer (CNCI®) has become the industry preferred certification for network cable installation and is specified as a requirement on many job profiles and installation project contracts. In addition, manufacturers, major installation companies, associations and consultants endorse the certification, knowing that it provides the right level of technical knowledge, competence and confidence to the industry. In recognition of the CNCI® certification, many manufacturers also award accreditations towards their product warranties.
The comprehensive ten-day program offers the perfect mix of technical knowledge and practical activities for both copper and fibre component installation, termination and testing. Official CNCI® certification proves that an individual is certified to undertake network cable infrastructure projects to the highest calibre whilst working to the current national and international industry standards and industry best practice. During the program learners will be provided a valuable opportunity to access the latest industry standards.
Having successfully completed this program, and with the appropriate level of experience, it is highly recommended that you continue your professional development by advancing your knowledge and skills to gain further official certifications and qualifications by progressing through The Global Digital Infrastructure Education Framework which maps education programs to career advancement throughout the network infrastructure and data centre sectors.
The CNCI® program is classroom-based and led by one of CNet’s expert Instructors.

“LMG and CNet Training began a collaboration using the CNCI® program some time ago to bring infrastructure working practices into the business and test competency of engineering standards in a practical setting. Now our engineers are fully prepared for any future solution when on site and have the confidence and knowledge so critical in this market. In our experience the synergy between sound business ethics, good training practices and adaptive partnership has enabled strong, sustainable and ethical business development.”
“NG Bailey IT Services are very excited about our partnership with CNet Training. The CNCI® program will support our business direction and ultimately further enhance our “best in class” service to our clients in the future”
“Our team is highly qualified and we understand that constant training and development is key to helping them deliver every time for our customers. CNet Training’s CNCI® program provides the perfect opportunity for us to get behind a recognised certification that provides the right level of technical knowledge and gives reassurance to customers. The feedback we have had from our staff that have attended the CNCI® program has been excellent, even those with lots of experience have found the program challenging and rewarding.”
“At Computacenter we are delighted that the CNCI® program will bring a defined and appropriate level of competence, and therefore confidence, that is much needed. Whilst we feel we offer the highest levels of service today, the CNet Training program brings an industry recognised certification that will demonstrate both capability and credibility and we welcome it.”
“To become a Datwyler Installation Partner delegates can attend the CNCI® program, carried out by CNet Training and just a 2 hour Datwyler accreditation.”
“I am pleased to confirm that Maxxam Cabling Solutions endorses the CNCI® certification. Furthermore, I can confirm that we will accept companies who have a minimum of two engineers that have successfully completed the CNCI® program on to the Maxxam Installer Partner program without the need for them to complete any further formal training.”
“The CNCI® program provides a high standard of learning and working practices as required by today’s network cabling professional. This enables contractors to demonstrate their competence, apply the appropriate standards and offer a good level of assurance to their clients. The program also facilitates entry to most leading manufacturer partner programmes, providing the fundamental knowledge and skill base without the need for further duplication of training, reducing the cost burden to ECA members. The ECA backs this CNCI® formal training initiative and will continue to work closely with CNet Training to influence, support and represent this important growing sector.”
“The CNCI® incorporates the Excel System Installation program, eliminating the need for individuals to attend the 2-day Excel program and just take the Excel Online training element.”
“The CNCI® incorporates the Fluke Versiv™ CCTT program providing full certification.”
“The CommScope Infrastructure Academy recognises that industry based training and apprentice schemes, where students benefit from practical ‘hands-on’ instruction, play a vital role in raising the skill levels of field personnel across the industry. Installer training schemes such as CNet Training’s CNCI® cover much of the general cabling installation techniques, codes and guidelines. CNCI® certified individuals can utilise CommScope’s Infrastructure Academy’s Flexible Course Facility to modify the installation training rather than attend the 2-day installation course.”
“The CNCI® program is an acceptable certification when applying for the UC Connect programme.”
“Molex Premise Networks recognises the CNCI® program as an acceptable certification for structure cabling installers who are wishing to become a Molex Business Partner who can offer our 25 Year System Performance and Application Assurance Warranty. The CNCI® certification would reduce the Molex training requirements to a minimal online only course.”
“Matrix Cabling recognises and endorses the CNCI® as an ideal qualification for existing experienced installers. Installers who have successfully completed this course are able to register to become a Matrix Cabling Approved Installer, whereby they can offer a 25 year warranty, on all Matrix registered installations.”
I am hugely supportive of the work by CNet Training to develop Level 3 qualifications, and above, within the data communications industry. With the standards and skills defined by the industry. the work CNet Training is leading will raise the attraction of job opportunities in this ‘4th utility’. Companies will require staff with expert standards in their industry to win future business.
At Computacenter we are delighted that the CNCI® training program will bring a defined and appropriate level of competence, and therefore confidence, that is much needed.
