5G Training in 2022

As 5G rapidly evolves, it is important for you and your team to stay up to date on the latest technology trends in the industry. In this article, we discuss which 5G training options we believe you should focus on in 2022 to ensure you stay ahead of the curve.

Specifically, we talk about our recommended training options for various levels of professionals: non-engineers, engineers new to wireless technology, and intermediate/advanced wireless engineers. We then discuss how you can receive 5G training with leading engineers from Qualcomm Technologies.

Please note that the trainings in which you choose to participate should depend on the specific type of work you do. This article contains general recommendations for training in 2022, but please view our course list to find the courses that fit your needs.

5G Training in 2022 for Non-Engineers

As 5G Private Networks and Industrial IoT continue to evolve, more and more companies will need to manage their own wireless networks and understand how 5G works. This means that non-engineers, especially managers, within just about any company should have a solid understanding of how 5G technology works.

The Qualcomm Wireless Academy (QWA) offers introductory 5G courses for business professionals looking to broaden their 5G knowledge and learn how 5G can be optimized for business. For professionals just getting started with 5G education, we recommend taking our two-hour 5G Primer.

5G Training in 2022 for Engineers New to Wireless Technology

If you’re an engineer with little to no experience in wireless technology, 2022 is the year for you to start learning about it. As 5G continues to evolve and impact the way the world operates, it is important to understand the technical aspects of 5G. Plus, because wireless engineering is such a rapidly growing field, learning about 5G could help you find lots of professional opportunities in an exciting industry.

To begin your 5G training as an engineer, we recommend taking our 5G NR Technical Training course, where a leading engineer from Qualcomm Technologies will give you a technical overview of the key technologies that make 5G possible. This will give you the foundation you need to continue your 5G training and develop as a wireless engineer.

5G Training in 2022 for Intermediate & Advanced Wireless Engineers

If you’re an advanced wireless engineer, it’s still important to ensure you stay well-trained on the latest 5G technologies. To ensure you stay ahead of the curve in 2022, we recommend the following courses. Please click on each course to learn more and to sign up through the Qualcomm Wireless Academy.
