ECSE Design practice examsIn development
Ekahau Certified Survey Engineer - Design
Practical wireless design with the industry-standard Ekahau tool: predictive design on an accurately modelled floor plan where scale and wall attenuation decide accuracy, active and passive surveys with the Sidekick where technique matters as much as the tool, and the AI Pro workflow of importing, modelling, designing and surveying; then analysis through the right visualisation for each problem, optimisation from diagnosis to a specific change tested predictively, a non-negotiable validation survey proving the built network meets its requirements, and a professional evidence-based report closing the predict-survey-optimise-validate loop.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.

Two sample questions
1. Which amendment reduces roaming time by pre-establishing key material?
- 802.11k
- 802.11v
- 802.11ax
- 802.11r — correct
Why: Fast BSS transition pre-establishes keys so the handover completes quickly.
2. Why does the Sidekick pair with the software?
- It feeds calibrated measurements into it — correct
- It stores the client reports in the cloud
- It replaces the floor plan import step
- It sets the design's channel plan
Why: The Sidekick provides consistent, calibrated signal and spectrum data that the software analyses and maps.
