Program Requirements and Electives - 13 Credits
Total Credits Required for Certificate: 13*
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.
Program Description
The program prepares students for the industry recognized CompTIA Network+ certification exam and validates the knowledge and skills of networking professionals. The Network+ certification exam is an international, vendor-neutral certification that recognizes a technician’s ability to describe the features and functions of networking components and to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols, and services. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Network+ candidates have at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or adequate academic training, along with a CompTIA A+ certification.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this certificate, students will be able to:
- take the CompTIA Network+ certification exam;
- configure networking on systems and workstations;
- understand and setup TCP/IP networks and subnets; and
- maintain physical and wireless network connections and equipment.
