2-Day - Training Providers are commercial organizations,
colleges/universities, or vendor sponsored 2-day CompTIA RFID+
certified preparatory courses, sometimes referred to as Boot Camps.
Below is the course I attended at Penn State Behrend, as
well as upcoming Boot Camps around the country (where available).

| Synopsis: |
a |
We cannot say enough good about the
folks and the RFID program at Penn State Behrend. The group is headed by Frank
DeWolf, who spent many years in supply chain, and is as knowledgeable as
they come on RFID. The program consists of two days of classroom and
hands on training, in a state of art classroom and a state of the art RFID lab.
All
participants receive a CompTIA Quality Seal Approved RFID+ Manual, as well as the
175
Question Quiz CD (which I mention throughout this site is critical to passing
the CompTIA RFID+ exam). In and out of the lab, you work with real world
scenarios that help you to gain a better understanding of the capabilities
and limitations of RFID. Some examples include tagging different
types of products, from beverages to cereal, and determining appropriate
tagging techniques and RFID range. You will be exposed to and work with
all types of antennas, and learn how to isolate and prevent frequency
interference. You will encode tags, use RFID software, work with conveyor
systems and light readers, and the list goes on and on. The PSU
Behrend CompTIA
RFID+ course is available for less then $500, and can be viewed here,
or you can download a fact sheet here.
If this
program is geographically, financially and educationally enough to meet
your needs, we can't recommend it highly enough.
