Course Structure  

Course Overview  

A ‘from the ground up’ course that will teach delegates all the necessary skills                           required to build a basic network and understand the tools needed to achieve this.                           This course will include Network Surveillance products as well as other devices                       common to this discipline such as IP Telephony, NAS (Network Attached Storage),                       Printing, Routers and Switches (both managed and unmanaged). We will also cover                       transmission methods, cyber security implementation and network addressing. 

 

Course Delivery  

The Networking Foundation Course is delivered over two days and is lecture based                         using slide presentations, the lecture is accompanied by both activity based guided                       practice and questionnaire sessions. Each lecture is approximately 40 minutes                   followed by the activity session for 20 minutes.    Breaks are o ered throughout the day (morning break 15 mins, lunch break 30 mins                           and afternoon break 15 mins), lunch will be provided (please advise us if there are                             any special dietary requirements).    The course will conclude with a nal practical assessment. A certi cate of                       completion will be provided for course attendance and also a pass certi cate for the                           nal practical assessment. 

 

            

 

 

 

Part 2: Delegate Learning Outcomes   

Objectives  

Learning Outcome  

Upon completion of the NORBAIN Academy Networking Foundation Course                 delegates will be able to demonstrate understanding of the following subjects:  ● What is a Computer Network ● TCP/IP ● PING/IP CONFIG Command and Networking Scanning Software ● Hardware Including Switches, Cameras and Other Host Devices ● Network Device Con guration ● IP Addressing and DHCP ● Routing and Routing Protocols ● Subnetting ● TCP and UDP ● DNS ● The Internet ● SNMP ● Cyber Security and Implementation ● Troubleshooting  

Assessment Method  

During the course delegates will be assessed upon their understanding of each of                         the above subjects by being given practical exercises (guided by the instructor) or an                           online questionnaire (where they will be encouraged to work with other delegates).                       At the end of the course (day 2) there will be a nal practical examination.   

 

Outcomes Criteria  

Each delegate will be able to put into practice what they have learnt and install and                               manage a fully functional network, they will understand what hardware may be                       required to design and implement this, they will also be able to communicate                         e ectively with network administrators and engineers in order to ensure successful                     system integration.
