Course Notes

A student textbook is provided for on-going reference. The course consists of 15 graded-end of module quizzes and a final exam. Participants who receive 75% or higher on their exam will receive a certificate.

Hands-on practice labs are included in this course. By completing these labs students will gain practical aspects of the CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) exam objectives.

Due to the dynamic nature of the IT industry, job success mandates that an individual learns not only the theory but also obtains the skill to locate resources that provide answers and help solve problems on the job. We encourage our students to develop research and study skills that will help them make the transition from the classroom to the work environment. Independent thinking is required of anyone considering IT courses and a career in Information Technology.
