Catalog Description

The System Administration Level II certificate is designed to pickup where the System Administration Level I certificate leaves off. This certificate with its included classes bring the students skills up to the next level. These courses prepares students to design, implement and manage the heterogeneous corporate network. The network administration courses emphasize network operating systems, network infrastructure and data communications. Students will acquire the skills to install and administer a Windows network, Virtualization, Active Directory, group policy, file system security, DNS, DHCP, routers, switches, network infrastructure, access control list, Virtual LAN (VLAN) and VLAN routing. Individual courses will assist students in preparing for industry certification exams such as Network+, Microsoft Certs, SUSE Linux Certs and Others. Opportunities available upon completion of the certificate program include entry-level and mid-management positions in Network Administration and support. This course was specifically created for the Local Aerospace and Defense Industry but is applicable to many other industries.
