Course Description

If you’ve taken RIT Certified’s Information Technology Fundamentals course, passed the CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam, and/or have similar experience with IT, this Networking Technologies course will enhance your skills in IT and Cyber Security. After just 12 weeks, you’ll walk away from this course with the knowledge and skills you need to pass the CompTIA Network+ exam* and establish, maintain, and troubleshoot networks. This is the second course in the Cyber Defense Analyst Mastery Certificate.

Is This Course For You?

This course is designed for those who already have experience in Information Technology and the knowledge required to pass the CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam. If you have not taken that exam and don’t have the skills necessary yet, our Information Technology Fundamentals course can prepare you. You should also be familiar with and have access to Windows operating systems before taking this course.

If you’re interested in working as an Information Specialist, or Network Specialist, this course is for you. Once you complete Networking Technologies, you will have the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to pursue these and similar positions.

What You’ll Learn

During this course, you will learn the necessary skills and knowledge you need to pass the CompTIA Network+ exam*, an industry-recognized certification that is helpful to have on your resume when you’re growing your IT career. These skills include understanding, implementing, and troubleshooting with a variety of network types, supporting the use of network operations and network security, understanding the fundamentals of networking, and more.

How You’ll Learn

Networking Technologies is an online course with a hybrid learning structure. This means there will be a combination of synchronous online lectures once per week with asynchronous lab work and textbook readings to complete on your own time. If you are unable to attend the live lectures, they will be recorded for future viewing.

For this 12-week course, you will need to dedicate 5-7 hours per week to completing your coursework, which includes the lectures. Each week covers a specific unit, and although you can divide your time in whatever way works best for you, it is in your best interest to complete each unit’s work within that week. You have the flexibility to complete your asynchronous work whenever you have time in your busy schedule while blocking the time on your calendar to attend the weekly live lectures or view them later.

Skills You Will Gain

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Summarize the fundamental concepts of networking
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot a network
• Support the use of network operations and network security
• Compare uses for and implementation of local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and the Internet
• Accurately respond to practice questions for the CompTIA Network+ Exam

*RIT Certified does not administer the CompTIA Network+ exam as a part of this course.
