50 Hours - 12 Weeks The goal of this course is to have the student become more familiar with the Microsoft networking architecture and its related components and services. The student is introduced to new concepts, including network protocols, DHCP, DNS, Routing and Active Directory. Activities are performed in a virtualized environment to provide the student with a safe and stable environment, and to promote testing of learned concepts.
– 50 Hours – 12 Weeks The goal of this course is to prepare the student for the tasks of installing, configuring, managing and supporting a network infrastructure. The student learns certain project management tasks, and works with network design concepts and components in greater detail (IE: DNS, Active Directory, Group Policy), and how to apply these components in a practical sense. The end goal is for the student to design and create the pieces necessary for a pseudo-production environment
– 50 Hours – 12 Weeks This course introduces the student to the Microsoft Windows Server network operating system. Students will learn different installation methods, as well as administration and configuration via a safe, virtualized environment. The use of a virtualization application affords the student a satisfying atmosphere for learning this complex and powerful operating system without compromising system security and stability.
50 Hours - 12 Weeks This course will bring an intermediary-level introduction of Microsoft Active Directory concepts to the student. Information Technology specialists must understand and use Active Directory in Microsoft-centric networks. This course creates an atmosphere to introduce the core principles involved with a hands-on approach. The student delves into this product with a hands-on perspective using a virtualized environment.
50 Hours - 12 Weeks The course introduces the student to the tools and capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server.
