Course Description:
Technicians need a solid foundation of understanding how the Internet works, what protocols are involved, and how they can use their Windows PC’s to test and examine networking functions.
This one day Networking 101 course explains and demystifies the terms used, and the technologies, functions and components that make up the Internet. So much has happened historically, the buzz words and three letter acronyms that the experienced take for granted can be overwhelming.
Target Audience
The target audience is the new Telephone or broadband company employee, technical and even customer service employees, or even existing employees and managers that need a background in how the Internet actually works. The course will appeal to the technical and non-technical audience alike with just the right blend of both worlds.
