Network engineers plan, construct and maintain networks so that they are optimized and operating efficiently. While network technicians, helpdesk technicians, and IT administrators solve daily IT troubleshooting issues, the network engineer manages the high-level task of designing and improving networks, essentially establishing the tech foundation for an organization. Daily responsibilities can include creating and implementing physical and wireless networks, researching and integrating new technologies.
Every company needs a Desktop Support Technician, and this training helps prepare students to address questions and respond to users who experience problems with technology in the workplace.
The Server Administrator Certificate allows students who have already completed some prerequisite courses in networking to advance. It allows students to specialize in Linux, Microsoft and Cisco OS configuration, management and security. With the constantly-changing demands on administrators familiar with the latest security concepts and best practices in the field, these careers are in high demand. Employment options include positions such as
- Network Manager
- Information Technology (IT) Specialist
- Systems Administrator
Earning a certificate in network infrastructure technology opens doors to a career as an network infrastructure technician, the person responsible for supporting internal and external customers. It includes providing training and tools to help them become more productive, and also requires troubleshooting non-routine problems when they arise within the network.
