Clarke IV, co-founder and president of the Computer Telephony Institute, will present a special Computer Telephony Engineer (CTE(SM)) BootCamp at the Computer Telephony Demo & Expo, Sept. 23-25 at the Jacob K.

The Computer Telephony Engineer BootCamp, to be featured Sept. 25 at CT Expo, provides a comprehensive overview of datacom, telephony and their "convergence," plus the various applications inherent in computer telephony, or CT. "Certified CTE professionals are in great demand as computer telephony products flood the business landscape. This will be an invaluable tutorial for anyone interested in becoming more knowledgeable about the technology as well as those aspiring to be a certified computer engineer," said Randee Wechsler, conference manager for CT Expo. More than 12,000 attendees are expected at CT Demo & Expo, making it the fastest growing computer telephony forum in the nation. David Clarke, associate professor, international conference speaker, and a Certified Novell Instructor, has authored numerous books, including the series, CNE Study Guides. His CTE BootCamp is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., Friday, Sept. 25. Clarke is widely recognized for a unique style and approach to education which can be traced to his five years as the director of Systems Integration at the Walt Disney Company and a breakthrough learning technique called SLS, or The Synergy Learning System. The Synergy Learning System, developed in collaboration with CyberState University (www.cyberstateu.com) is an innovative training methodolgy employed by CT Institute.

"My philosophy about learning in this category is really three fold: it has to be relevant, it has to be interesting and it has to be fun," Clarke said. "The BootCamp promises to be a full overview of the three required courses for CTE certification: datacom, telephony and convergence, and you get access to proven learning techniques that are helping engineers achieve certification status and advance their careers," he added. The Bootcamp will benefit IT and telecom managers, telephone and data engineers, administrators, and resellers who are interested in CT technology and certification.
