Course Duration – 6 Days
Audience
Delegates wishing to advance their knowledge of Networking. At least 9 months experience working in a PC administrative role and the A+certification are recommended prior to attending this course.
Course Objectives
On completion of the course attendees will have mastered the fundamentals of networking and understand the hardware and software settings required to administer a wide range of network configurations. The course will also prepare students for the Network+ certification examination.
Course Overview
The Network+ certification is the natural progressor from CompTIA’s hugely popular A+ certification. The course comprehensively covers PC networking technology and will teach the functions of network components and the skills needed to install, configure, and troubleshoot basic networking hardware peripherals and protocols. We recommend attendees have A+ certification or equivalent knowledge prior to attending the course.
The Network+ course has been updated to include wireless networking and gigabit Ethernet. The syllabus also includes Linux/Unix, Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and includes AppleTalk as a network protocol. The course will help provide real hands-on experience needed in areas of network implementation and network support including troubleshooting scenarios with a wide range of network configurations.
