Network+ Certification Training Seminar

Overview:
In this course students learn skills that help prepare for the CompTIA Network+ certification, 2005 objectives (exam N10-003). The course describes the major networking technologies, systems, skills, and tools used in modern PC-based computer networks.

Who Should Attend:
This course is intended for entry-level computer support professionals with basic knowledge of computer hardware, software, and operating systems, who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and skills to prepare for a career in network support or administration, or to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ certification, 2005 objectives (exam number N10-003). A typical student in the CompTIA Network+ Certification course should have nine months or more of professional computer support experience as a PC technician or help desk technician. Network experience is helpful but not required; A+ certification or the equivalent skills and knowledge is helpful but not required.

At Course Completion:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: - Identify the basic components of network theory. - Identify the major network communications methods. - Identify network data delivery methods. - List and describe network media and hardware components. - Identify the major types of network implementations. - Identify the components of a TCP/IP network implementation. - Identify the major services deployed on TCP/IP networks. - Identify characteristics of a variety of network protocols. - Identify the components of a LAN implementation. - Identify the components of a WAN implementation. - Identify major issues and technologies in network security. - Identify the components of a remote network implementation. - Identify major issues and technologies in disaster recovery. - Identify major data storage technologies and implementations. - Identify the primary network operating systems. - Identify major issues, models, tools, and techniques in network troubleshooting.
