ITC Global Career Certifications are VSAT professional certification s for satellite based telecommunication systems. There are currently two levels of certification Installer, and Professional. The certifications are issued based on Objective Evidence based Outcomes Training, and require demonstration of knowledge based on both practical and written assessments. Technical certification ITC Global Certified VSAT Installer ICVI The first stage of ITC Global s certification system is the entry level and begins with ITC Global Certified VSAT Installer ICVI certification. The primary intention of ICVI is to ensure that an individual regardless of other qualifications has learned and demonstrated the specialised techniques necessary to site, install and commission a VSAT system to the required standard. Satellite Terminal Fundamentals Conduct of Site Surveys Safety Considerations Antenna Siting Considerations Approved Assembly Techniques Signal Acquisition Techniques Commissioning Procedure Documentation Professional certification ITC Global Certified VSAT Professional ICVP Building on the practical focus of the ICVI certification, ICVP covers the gap between the traditional Radio frequency RF focus of VSAT systems, and the convergence with information technology IT systems, specifically targeting IP networking fundamentals. Troubleshooting techniques and methodologies are also covered, as well as endorsements for specific equipment platforms, such as iDirect version 8.x iDirect version 10.0.1.1 aka iDX 2.0.1.1 CDM 570, CDM 600 and CDM 625 based SCPC 70MHz IF chains L band IF chains Stabilised and tracking antenna platforms Seatel 4006, 4009 and 6006 etc and OpenAMIP Cognizant of the rapid evolution of satellite based systems, ICVP certifications must be renewed on a 3 yearly cycle, to ensure currency of certified personnel.

In 2004 however, http www.stratosglobal.com Stratos closed down their maritime broadband division, leaving Ship Equip without a satellite provider for its SEVSAT service which at that time had in excess of 20 users, and was becoming increasingly popular. The solution turned out to be the start up space segment broker http www.newwavebroadband.com New Wave Broadband and the worlds largest satellite operator http www.intelsat.com Intelsat who independently decided to implement http www.idirect.net iDirect technology on the 907 satellite that covered central and northern Europe, where customers of http www.ship equip.com Ship Equip at that time primarily was located. This fortunate turn of events provided a boost for http www.ship equip.com Ship Equip and from 2004 to 2006 while focusing primarily on its local markets in the Offshore, Oil and Gas and Fisheries segments the number of SEVSAT customers increased rapidly to pass 100 installed systems early in 2006 and 200 systems by mid 2007.
