Network Technician

If you would like a career in IT, for example as a Network Technician, Help Desk Technician or Network Support Specialist, then the Network Technician course will provide you with the perfect stepping stone.

The course is made up of two certifications - A+ and Network+. You will cover everything from procedures for installing, configuring and upgrading Windows 95/98 and Windows 2000/XP, to network implementation and support.

What is more, these certifications are sponsered by CompTIA which means that they are recognised by all major computer hardware and software vendors, distributors, resellers and publications. Maybe that is the reason that more than 350,000 people hold these qualifications today - making them the second most popular IT choice after Microsoft Certified Professional!
You will also find that these certifications count towards the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification, which makes this course an excellent starting point for an individual wishing to start a career in IT.

1. A+ Certification ( 50 hours)(2003 syllabus)

A+ 2006 Certification is a testing program sponsored by CompTIA that certifies the competency of entry-level service technicians in the computer industry. Anyone who wants an internationally recognise credential as a competent entry-level computer service professional can take the A+ examination. Major computer hardware and software vendors, distributors, resellers and publications back the program.

Earning A+ certification means that the individual possesses the knowledge and skills essential for a successful entry-level computer service technician, as defined by experts from companies across the industry. The test covers a broad range of hardware and software technologies, but is not related to any vendor-specific products. To get CompTIA A+ 2006 certification, you have to take two tests: one core and one elective test. Test 220-601 (A+ Essentials) is the core exam and for the electives, you can choose among 220-602 (A+ IT Technician), 220-603 (A+ Remote Technician) and 220-604 (A+ Depot Technician).Once someone is A+ certified, they retain this designation for life and do not need to become re-certified when an updated exam is released.

2. Network+ (40hours)

The Network+ certification is a testing program sponsored by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) that certifies the knowledge of network technicians with 18-24 months experience in the IT industry. It covers vendor- and product-neutral networking technologies and can serve as a prerequisite for vendor-specific IT certifications. CompTIA worked with a number of other prominent vendors to do the network technician job task analysis that was used to develop the Network+ Certification program and the objectives for the exam.

This certification is targeted towards two groups. The first group is Network Administrators with very little experience. The second group is technical professionals from a variety of fields who want to improve their effectiveness by learning more about the basics of networking. Typical duties performed are supporting existing networks, planning LANs, and developing technical solutions which incorporate a network component.

Keimos Networking Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This “learning by doing'” model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.

Because our courses are done through Distance Learning we only cover the Cisco Associate level exams for CCDA and CCNA. We do have coverage of the more advanced exams so please give us a call if you are looking for CCNP training courses.

How do I study a CD course?

If you choose a CD course from Keimos, you'll have the benefit of Skill Builder learning software which identifies your learning needs before you start, ensuring that you don't waste time going over things you already know or moving too far ahead before you are ready. With audio and visual instructions, you progress at your own pace, completing self assessment at the end of each topic so you can measure your progres
