Convergence Technologies Professional

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Convergence Technologies Professional certification program is designed to ensure that all convergence workers have a proper foundation for using the technologies associated with Voice over IP. Individuals can take the CTP exam to demonstrate their knowledge of technologies and best practices including codecs, network planning, troubleshooting, and providing quality video and voice over data networks.

CTP is endorsed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)[1], a non-profit organization that specializes in creating standards for the telephony industry. Additional companies that endorse and use CTP include Avaya [2], Mitel/Inter-tel [3], Nortel[4], Toshiba[5], Iwatsu[6], and others.
