| Overview: | 
CompTIA Network+ validates the knowledge and skills of networking professionals.
It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that recognises a technician's ability to describe the features and functions of networking components and to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols and services.
This practical "hands-on" 5-day course will teach students the fundamental principles of installing and supporting networks.
|
| Skills Gained: | On course completion, students will be able to:
• Describe the features of different network protocols and products for LANs, WANs, and wireless networks.
• Understand the functions and features of TCP/IP addressing and protocols.
• Identify threats to network resources and appropriate security countermeasures.
• Install and configure network cabling and appliances.
• Manage, monitor, and troubleshoot networks
