Course details

Technology today is ‘networked’ – even in the literal sense. Networks have become an integral part of mundane existence. It is inconceivable to think of communications exclusive of networks. Network 5 serves to expose the learner to basic networking concepts.

Organizations employ network and system administrators to cater to its networking needs. However, today’s knowledge workers are increasingly called upon to become self reliant and competent to deal with routine operational tasks. Contemporary job profiles seek greater knowledge and productivity factors from the average office user.

There is a felt need for knowledge workers to bring more to the work place than just functional domain expertise. A certain degree of technical proficiency is perceived to contribute more to the workplace in terms of better productivity and higher efficiency. There is better communication, lesser support downtimes and network lapses within the organization and hence greater cost savings and profits.
