Program Description:
The goal of the Networking Certificate is to enable
students who do not wish to complete a degree program to acquire the
skills necessary to gain employment in the expanding field of building
and maintaining computer networks. In addition, upon completion of the
four networking courses which are part of the
Cisco
Networking
Academy
curriculum, students are prepared to take the Cisco Certified Networking
Associate examination.
The program focuses on the fundamentals of
networking including how to design a local area network and how to
install and maintain it. Students become competent in configuring
switches and routers for both LAN and Internet implementation. Students
also study network management, learn how to design and apply Access
Control Lists and apply concepts relating to network security,
maintenance, trouble shooting and upgrading of facilities. Basic
concepts of computer architecture and design and computer programming
are learned, and students acquire a working knowledge of the Unix
operating system.
