    • Course Benefits
    The proliferation of powerful workstations and PCs, together with a vast installed base of minicomputers and mainframes, has produced immense pressure to link these resources. Local area networks allow the sharing of programs, data and peripherals by providing common access to local and remote resources. In this course, students gain a good understanding of Networking concepts. It gives the student fundamental knowledge they need to design, configure and implement Local Area Networks (LAN).
    Who Should Attend
    This course is designed to provide students the skills and knowledge to design and implement Local Area Networks. Anyone who wants to get detailed knowledge of Networking Concepts, or wants to prepare for Network+ Certification exam should attend this course.
