Computer Networking Course Online

Computer Networking Online Virtual Classroom course is designed to enable participants to install, configure and test a fundamental computer network. The opportunities for employment within the area of network support are enormous as businesses continue to grow and utilise the new technology available to them. This is a vital role to ensure the smooth running of businesses reliant on their network and IT systems.

This course provides learners with both the practical and theoretical knowledge of networks. During the course, participants will learn about the different components used to create a network including hardware, software and topologies.

The course runs over 5 days next course commencing on Saturday 16th November at 10.00 am.

A payment of £65 secures your place on your chosen course. The balance of the course fees of £600 can be paid shortly before course commencement.

The course will be delivered through blended training consisting of 5 virtual classroom 6-hour sessions with assessments and examinations taking place on the 5^th  day.

During the Online Virtual Classroom sessions, trainees will have a live video feed with their instructor talking to them, doing practical live demonstrations and involving trainees actively in the learning.

In preparation for this, we plan to have a quick informal online meeting a few days before course commencement for about an hour just to make sure that people get connected properly, let you know what the online virtual classroom will be like and go through any questions you may have. To join the virtual sessions, you will need a PC/Laptop or Tablet with an internet connection. Joining instructions (login IDs, etc) will be sent before the Informal Induction session.
