Have you ever configured a switch or router from the ground up?

Along with teaching computer network fundamentals, the instructor spends a lot of time in the lab working through configurations from beginning to end and giving you challenge exercises you can complete on your own.

Are you a server Admin, Computer Technician, or Specialize in WiFi? 

This course is designed as the ultimate network fundamentals course. Although lab examples are predominately around Cisco IOS and Cisco equipment, the concepts and theories covered in this class are agnostic and applicable to any network hardware.  Additionally, this course makes a great refresher for a specialist who's job involves integrating with enterprise networks but whose primary responsibility may not give them much hand's on with routers/switches and other fundamental network components. Use this course to keep current, and practice those skills to stay at the top of your game. 

Looking to earn a certification? 

This course will lay the foundation, teaching you theory and skills that can help kick your certification journey in overdrive! The skills and knowledge learned in this course are requirements for several well-known industry certifications including CompTIA's Network+, Cisco Systems CCNA certification.
