(24 hrs) Network Fundamentals and Troubleshooting (Part of SCTP)
About This Course
This course provides participants with a solid foundation in computer networking principles and practical network administration.
Participants will explore essential network components, data transmission, routing, IP addressing, network classifications, topologies, protocols, and the real-world application of the OSI and TCP/IP models.
The course also develops hands-on competence in designing, configuring, and managing small-scale networks while diagnosing and resolving common connectivity issues.
Through the use of network simulation software, participants will design and test virtual network environments, evaluate different topologies, and strengthen troubleshooting skills in a safe, controlled setting, preparing them for entry-level networking tasks and responsibilities in varied workplace settings.
