Workshop Description and Goals

 

Attend the five-day Introduction to Network+ Certification workshop July 26-30, 2010 at a cost of $500, at NTID/RIT in Rochester NY. The workshop will be held daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

 

This workshop will help you prepare for the "Network+™ Certification" test that is offered by CompTIA.

This is a test that you can study for and take on your own after this workshop. You will be given a supplemental book and a testing engine that you can use after the workshop to prepare to obtain

this vendor-independent networking certificate.

 

Attendance at the workshop does not guarantee that you will pass this, or any, certification.


The workshop will be divided into two primary areas of study:

  1. Network technology theory – approximately 50%.

  2. Network practices and applications – approximately 50%.

These topics will be covered in the workshop:

  • Basic Network Concepts

  • Network Protocols and Standards

  • Networking Components

  • TCP/IP Fundamentals

  • Subnetting and Routing

  • TCP/IP Utilities

  • Wireless Networking

  • Remote Connectivity

  • Implementing a Network

  • Maintaining and Supporting a Network

  • Network Security

  • Troubleshooting the Network
