Course Description
Welcome to the Network Diploma Course! In this course, you will learn the technologies that keep the world
as you know today connected and running. We cover both the fundamentals of networking as well as the
topics in the new Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam.
The Internet is extremely important in modern life today and all websites and Internet communication relies
on networking. This reliance is only predicted to continue with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in
the next few years.
This course will teach you how networks actually work and how you are able to connect to websites like
Facebook, Google, and YouTube. Content in this course can be used towards your CCNA. Topics such as IP
addressing, subnetting and many others can be applied directly to passing your CCNA certification.
What you'll learn in this course:
- Describe network fundamentals and build LANs
- Describe hubs, switches and routers
- Explain how addresses are allocated using DHCP
- Explain Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- Explain how to protect networks from attacks such as Kali Linux hacks
- Explain IP addressing and subnetting
- This course will prepare you for the CCNA 200-301 certification exam
Requirements
- No pre-knowledge required - we'll teach you everything you need to know.
- A PC or Mac is required.
- No software is required in advance of the course (all software used in the course is free or has a demo version).
- Should be able to understand English.
