Course overview
If you’ve ever considered working as a networking engineer or specialist but felt you lacked the knowledge or skills to launch your career, this might be what you’re looking for.
From the beginning, we teach you about basic IT literacy, basic software features and functions, basic networking, operating systems, and basic security threats. From there, the course steps up a notch exploring these areas in more depth. As you progress through the various stages, your knowledge of networking will gradually begin to develop.
The course bundle is comprised of five separate courses in total. Two of which are skills-based only with no exam, and three certification courses with a final exam after each course. The final course being the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) in Networking Fundamentals (98-366). The first course (IC3 Computing Fundamentals) provides a soft introduction to basic IT terminology, concepts and technology.
To help you grasp the concepts and develop the skills within the course, simulators are also included. These allow you to practice your networking skills learnt on the course. In the IT world, these simulators are otherwise known as ‘Live Labs’.
