The Supporting Cisco Devices for Field Technicians (FLDTEC) training teaches you knowledge and skills related to on-site replacement of Cisco technologies across routing, switching, data center, unified computing system (UCS), and collaboration platforms. This includes hardware identification, cabling, configuration backup and restoration, and software upgrades/downgrades.

This training prepares you for the 800-150 FLDTEC 1.0v exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Technician (CCT) Field Technician certification.
