How to become a 6G Readiness & Standards Lead
Be the person in the room who can say what 6G has actually agreed, and what is still a slide.
Who takes this route
Engineers, architects and technical leads who have to judge 6G claims rather than repeat them.
The route
2 courses, in this order — 13 modules, about 6.8 hours of video, hands-on labs throughout, and a graded exam at the end of each.
Place 5G in the real world and draw the whole system from memory — architecture, SBA, radio, and the power-on-to-first-packet journey. No prior telecom knowledge assumed.
7 modules~3.3h videoCertificate exam → TELCOMA 5G Foundation (week 4)6G as it actually stands, not as it is pitched — the targets ITU-R set, what the 3GPP studies have genuinely agreed, where the spectrum question really sits, and one ruler that tells you which rung any 6G claim is standing on.
6 modules~3.5h videoCertificate exam → TELCOMA 6G Readiness SpecialistBefore this: Recommended: 5G Foundation. 5G RAN Specialist helps for the radio module — lesson 1.3 is the waveform and coding bridge.
What you can do at the end
Read the IMT-2030 framework precisely; tell a study item from a work item from a specification; place any 6G spectrum, sensing or AI-native claim on the lab-pilot-announced-shipping ladder.
What you earn
2 verifiable TELCOMA certificates — one for each course, issued only after you pass its graded exam. Each carries a number and a QR code to a public verification page an employer can open without an account.
