FirstLook Technical Workshop Overviews

FirstLook offers a series of 1 day technical workshops aimed at Cisco technical professionals wishing to gain an introduction to Cisco technologies. These workshops are suitable for engineers who wish to learn about a new product or who require an introduction to a new technology that they have not encountered before.

The objective is to build awareness in the Partner community to sell, specify and deploy Cisco technologies.

FirstLook means light touch and these workshops demonstrate that the technology is very accessible and can be configured by the use of GUI’s rather than just CLI.

The format is 50% theory and 50% hands on practice using real equipment hosted by www.livelabs.co.uk.
