If you work for private business or a public agency, chances are you use a computer — a computer that is linked to other computers through a network. Designing, installing and maintaining networks and their users takes special training and skill, precisely the kind of education provided by Everest College of Business, Technology and Health Care's City Centre campus in Hamilton, Ontario.
What Do Network Administrators Do?
A "network" is any collection of computers that are linked either to each other or to a central server so that information can be created, shared and updated. The Network Administrator makes sure that an existing network runs smoothly, adds or removes hardware (computers, printers, etc.) and software (programs, applications) from the system, and supports the people who use them.
Network Administrator Education at Everest College-Hamilton City Centre
Everest's program prepares students for careers in computer networking by providing hands-on education in network design, installation, maintenance, rearrangement and implementation, as well as user support. During this 12-month long program, students learn to work with computer hardware, Windows server and client operating systems, Exchange Server, security, Cisco routers and Microsoft Office.
By completing this program, students can prepare to take certification exams in:
- Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) A+
- Security+
- Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
- Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA)
- Microsoft Exchange Server (MCP)
Courses are taught by instructors who are former professional Network Administrators. They know not only the academic side of networking theory, but also how the real-world works and what students can expect when they go to work in this demanding, high-pressure field.
