Introduction
This document contains instructions on how to set up and hold the Cypress Academy WICED Wi-Fi WW-101 class.
Checklists are included for all items that need to be arranged.
This course is designed to be extremely intensive and hands-on. We demand that every student be engaged, every
student learns, and every student has a good experience.

Facility Requirements
Room Setup
The class is taught over 2 full days. During that time we switch back and forth between classroom instruction and
individual lab exercises. It is therefore critical that the room setup is appropriate and comfortable for both uses.
Students should be seated at long rectangular tables with 2 students per table. There must be enough space at each
table for students to have a laptop, kits, and manual placed comfortably. There must be enough room around the tables
(both sides, front and back) for instructors to walk around and sit next to students to assist them. There must be power
provided at each table (at least 4 outlets per table).
There must be a screen (or 2 screens for wide rooms) at the front of the room with a projector that can be connected to
a laptop computer that the instructor will provide. Cables/adapters to connect to a laptop with HDMI, display port, and
mini display port outputs must be available. There should be a microphone available at the font of the class unless the
class size is very small.
The following diagram shows an example of the setup with approximate dimensions for a class size of 24 students.
Appropriate changes may be made depending on class sizes and available rooms but these general guidelines should be
followed as closely as possible. Deviations from the setup described above and shown in the figure must be approved
by the instructors before it is too late to adjust – send photos of the room setup if possible.

Meals
1. If the hotel where the attendees are staying does not offer a free breakfast, you will need to provide light
pastries. If the hotel does offer a free breakfast you should be fine with providing yogurt, fresh whole fruit, and
granola bars.
2. Coffee, tea, sodas, and water need to be provided all day, every day.
3. Lunches need to be brought in each day. The attendees will work while they eat.
4. A light afternoon snack (cookie or something equivalent) in the afternoon around 2:00 – 2:30 PM each day.
5. Make sure that you account for vegetarian or other dietary restrictions for all meals.
Prizes
In KY we give out miniature bottles of Bourbon (50ml each) to students for good questions and clever solutions. We
have found this to be an excellent motivational tool that helps keep everyone engaged. Something like this should be
used at all sites. Plan on 2 small prizes per student for the two day course. An equivalent regional substitution is
acceptable.

binders, they should have clear pockets on the outside front and back for the covers.
3. A printed sticker (Avery 5160) with the WiFi SSID / password and the AWS login ID / password. This sticker will
be affixed to the back cover of each manual. The password will change frequently so check with the instructor
for the latest password before printing stickers. The sticker should look like the following:
