| Introduction |
An often cited excuse for the lukewarm attitude towards IPv6 deployment has been "the business side doesn't see the need" or "there is no business case". In order to bring total alignment within organisations, we realised that not only do we need to train the engineers on how to build the infrastructure and the service, but we also need to help the people that manage these engineers how to think strategically about IPv6 and support their technical guys in IPv6 deployment. Effective IPv6 deployment is a more than configuring hardware. It requires proper planning, effective project management as well as integration into an organisation's business model and operations. After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:

| Introduction |
While the network infrastructure ferries packets around the world, it is only as valuable as the services that run atop of it. It is those services that have made the Internet such a powerful tool for learning, collaboration, commerce and entertainment. In line with our strategy for ensuring there's something for everyone, this module is designed to help systems administrators build dual-stack versions of core network services like DNS, Web , DHCP and Mail. After attending this workshop, participants will be able to

| Introduction |
As the Internet has become more critical to the way individuals, organisations and nations work, learn, play and do business, it has also become an attractive target for crime, and as such must be protected as a critical resource. This workshop focuses on the security aspects of IPv6 from the network infrastructure to the services and devices. It is meant for both the networking and system admin professionals. After attending this workshop, participants will be able to

Our workshops are designed to teach not just knowledge but know-how and competence. We plan to to put our name to back up your skill ...if you can prove to us we should. This planned program will cover in-depth all the key aspects of IPv6 and end with a written and practical exam. All successful course participants will receive an IPv6 Gold Engineer Certificate from AfriNIC |

Preparing for the workshop
Once invited for the workshop, participants should head to our website, download and review the relavant training materials. Participants to technical workshops are also required to come along with their own laptops which must have the following utilities installed:
- Virtualbox - a virtualisation software available freely from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- A telnet and/or SSH client to use to log into remote equipment. If your operating system does not have these installed, you can download and install the following free ones:
- Putty - http://www.putty.org/
- Terraterm - http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/releases/
- The AFRINIC whois client freely available from ftp://ftp.afrinic.net/pub/pub/db/whois3_afr.tar.gz. Please note that although most Linux/unix operation systems have a whois client, these do not support most of the flags used by the AfriNIC whois server.
