Learn The Fundamentals of Computer Networking
Networks are systems of interconnected computers, and increasingly other devices. They can be smaller scale, such as a home network, or large scale, such as found in large corporations and governments. As so many different devices can be interconnected in networks many computer problems can be traced back to network issues. Understanding how networks operate and how to resolve problems is a desirable skill to possess.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS INSTITUTION?
We believe that we have an ethical responsibility to make good use of the fees you pay and the time you invest into an education through our college. To this end, our first priority is always your learning. This comes before issues such as formal accreditations, speculative marketing and bureaucratic processes which all too often add considerable costs to the running of colleges, and take resources away from the provision of more valuable services to the student.
This college focuses on facilitating your learning and support to optimise that learning. We recognise that learning is all about improving knowledge and skills in your long term memory. While some colleges may focus on getting you to pass exams, by committing knowledge to short term memory; we understand that such an approach is not true education, and does little to improve your long term career or business prospects.
Why Study This Course?
- Enhanced skillset - understand computer networks in more depth for work or home
- Improved knowledge - understand network design, installation and configuration
- Better fault finding ability and problem solving with network related issues
