DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39153) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: Telecommunications Networks to their offering.

"Telecoms Networks" provides an introduction to the features, components and operation of modern telecoms networks including transmission networks, the PSTN, mobile networks and data networks.

Pre-requisite: Understanding of the subjects covered in StarTel course A "Telecoms Fundamentals" and course B "Principles of Voice Processing and Transmission"

Course Aim: After completing this course a trainee will be able to describe the basic components, operation and features of modern telecommunications networks.

The course:

--is accredited by e-skills UK as supporting the achievement of a telecoms National Vocational Qualification at level 3.

--provides in-depth, authoritative technical training.

--employs interactive simulations, hypertext links and question sessions to fully involve the trainee in the learning experience.

--provides personalised training with each trainee able to make his/her on notes and place bookmarks. A record of progress and level of achievement is recorded for each trainee.

--provides a structured assessed course and can also be used to browse for revision or reference.

--can be studied in isolation or as an integrated suite; each course includes revision links to relevant subjects covered in the other StarTel courses.

Target audience:

The StarTel suite of courses have been designed for those who:

--are studying in preparation for a career in the telecoms or ICT sector

--have recently joined the telecoms sector

--are in the telecoms or ICT sector and want to develop their knowledge of modern networks and services
