Since PTT was founded 30 years ago, the development of mobile radio technology has been dramatic. From the slow, bulky devices found in 1993 through to 2023 where most people in the world have access to high-speed mobile networks, the pace of change in wireless technologies shows no signs of slowing down.
Over the past 30 years, PTT has always ensured that network engineers have access to training on the latest technologies. PTT courses range from those covering basic mobile fundamentals, through to those detailing modern mobile systems.
To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are offering 30% off a bundle of all our courses covering mobile and wireless networks and services.
What courses are included?
When you purchase the bundle, you get access to the following 5 courses:
Wireless communications
Introduces the basic operation, capabilities and applications of wireless communications for those joining the telecoms sector in a managerial or technical role.
Code: WAA
Introduction to mobile systems
Introduces concepts which are used in most types of mobile systems, like handover and roaming, and cellular traffic handling. The course also reviews the various generations from 2G to 5G comparing their performance, and operation, and network structure.

Level 1: Introductory:
PTT Introductory courses are designed for those with no previous experience or knowledge of digital technology. These courses provide an overview of telecommunications or discuss the fundamentals of electronic communications and ICT. The study of general science at secondary (high) school is a typical pre-requisite for PTT Introductory courses.
PTT Introductory courses are suitable for those joining the ICT sector particularly those in an apprenticeship programme.
Level 2: Intermediate:
PTT Intermediate courses are designed for technicians and engineers requiring an understanding of a certain aspect of digital technology. Those planning to study an Intermediate course should understand the basic principles of computing or electronic communications.
The depth of treatment provided by Intermediate courses is typically equivalent to level 3 of a UK national vocational qualification (NVQ).
PTT Intermediate courses can be used to support level 3 digital apprenticeships.
Level 3: Advanced:
PTT Advanced courses are designed for those who require an in-depth treatment of a certain aspect of digital technology. Such courses are suitable for system designers as well as those who will be responsible for the maintenance of the system described in the course.
Those planning to study a PTT Advanced course should have a background in ICT or telecommunications, and an understanding of the fundamentals and principles of the type digital technology system described in the course.
