What will I learn through network administration training? Students need to have a good grasp of how networks are set up, what is involved, hardware and software interactions, remote access, and security. Employees within an organization need enough freedom to allow them to carry out their duties, but with the minimum amount of risk to the company in terms of access rights, security, or even fraud, theft, or embezzlement.

How can training help my career? As both hardware and software become more complex, people are finding that they need to narrow their area of expertise and increase the depth of their knowledge to meet the needs of their employers. As hardware and software are inextricably linked, and more powerful computers are used, there are myriad potential risks associated with the system. There may be issues of incompatible software, security, or access rights. There may also be issues associated with who is allowed to see information and who is allowed to input or edit that information. With the increasing trend toward improving the family/work life balance, many companies are allowing their employees to tele-work for several days a month. This means allowing them remote access, which causes a whole new set of issues for a network administrator. It is for all these reasons and more that network administrators need to be competent in their skills and their employers need to be confident in their abilities. Network administration training is designed to make students aware of potential dangers, and confer access rights, as well as how best to link aspects of the network.
