Working professionals who already handle radio network planning, optimisation, or field operations are the intended audience for this 14-hour synchronous e-learning course. Entry assumes a working familiarity with mobile networks, so the pace stays technical rather than introductory. If you are a network engineer, telecom technician, or IT staff member looking to move into 5G radio access work, this fits squarely.
The curriculum walks through the 5G New Radio (NR) Radio Access Network from the ground up. It covers the physical layer, frame structure, and numerology, then moves into beam management, massive MIMO, and the key differences between 5G NR and earlier 4G RAN designs. Sessions also address deployment scenarios such as standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) architectures, plus practical considerations like interference handling and coverage planning.
What stands out is the synchronous format. You attend live online sessions, which means you can ask the instructor questions in real time and work through problems as a group. That real-time interaction matters for tricky concepts like beamforming codebooks and waveform choices. You are not left to watch pre-recorded videos alone.
At 14 hours, the course fits a part-time schedule, and the fee after subsidies sits at $570 (full fee $1,900). That places it in a reasonable range for employer-sponsored training. The course reference TGS-2022012749 is SSG-registered, so you can use available funding channels where they apply. Last verified in August 2026, the listing is current.
If your work touches radio access networks or you plan to support 5G rollouts, this course gives you a structured way to update your knowledge. It does not promise job placement, but it does ground you in the RAN details that hiring managers expect. For HR and L&D teams, this is a practical upskilling option rather than a quick awareness session.
Overall, the blend of live instruction, technical depth, and a manageable time commitment makes this a solid choice for mid-career telecom professionals. You will leave with a clearer mental map of how 5G NR actually works over the air.
