Networking Technician (Net +)

Network technicians are the skilled professionals who not only make computers work individually, but make sure they work together.  Most people agree that there’s a lot more to networking than just shaking hands.  Businesses and other organizations rely on Network Technicians to ensure computers are connected to each other, to the Web, to e-mail servers and other essential hardware.  Networking is what makes individual workstations communicate.

The Networking Technician program ensures that you will be trained in networking fundamentals employers need. As a Net+ Certified technician, you will be able to make recommendations for installing or expanding a network, document and perform preventative maintenance on a network, and troubleshoot network problems. Having an A+ Certification as well would make you fully capable of being an on-site technical support person, a network administrator of a local area network, and a valuable asset to a networking team.
