4. Will I get hands-on practice with industry tools and real projects?

Yes—the certificate emphasizes hands-on learning:

• Labs cover using Akamai’s EdgeScape and Network Operations Command Center, traceroute analysis, and CDN property configuration.
• You’ll engage with automation via scripting and APIs, building proficiency in real-world contexts.
• The capstone project simulates designing a complete CDN solution—documenting architecture, implementing security policies, performance tuning, and incident response planning.
