Looking to become a part of the cloud revolution? This course will definitely put you on track to do just that! Cloud computing wouldn’t be able to function without networking specialists. Network Specialists install and manage the physical network infrastructure that allows computing to work. As cloud computing rapidly expands, there has never been a better time to get into networking to meet the demand. There are so many different opportunities within the field of networking from engineer and consultant, to project manager, and network security specialist.

This course starts off with the CompTIA Network+, which covers such things as topologies, networking concepts, and common security issues. The courses then progresses onto cloud computing where you will learn how interchangeable networking and cloud computing really are. From here, you then have the option to complete the CompTIA Security+ which teaches you how to secure networks from attacks and data loss. Finally the course becomes more specialised, focusing on Cisco networking technology and its applications.

Each course leads to a certification in its own field.  You can choose to take one or all of the courses within the bundle.  Scroll down to view the details of each course.

As we’ve highlighted above though, the more certifications you gain from the course, the higher your earning potential and job prospects. It’s really a bit of a no-brainer.
 
How is each course taught?
 

All courses are online and self-paced, meaning you do it in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace.  Each lesson is pre-recorded allowing you to pause, fast-forward, skip sections, or go back to another lesson if you need to.  The lessons are multi-media based, which means video and audio are used to teach the lessons.  Most lessons are also interactive, prompting the learner to participate.  This might involve answering on-screen questions, participating in tasks, and using simulators as if you were using the real software program.

 
How long will it take me to complete each course?
 

As mentioned above, our courses are self-paced.  Some people finish their course faster than others.  Each certification course is between 12-30 hours. If you choose to only do one of the certification courses from this bundle, then it will take you less time than if you do two or three or all of them.  No matter what though, you will always have 12 months to complete your course.

 
Are there exams involved and how much do they cost?
 
After completing each course you have the option to become certified. In order to do this, you must sit an official exam. The CompTIA exams normally require you to attend a testing center. We can advise you where your nearest testing center is. If you are doing a Microsoft exam, then you may have the option to sit the exam at home under observed conditions using a webcam.
 
We can provide you with complete guidance on the exam process from locating your nearest testing center, to booking, and receiving your certification.
 
We do not cover the cost of exam fees in this bundle. This is something you will have to cover yourself. For your convenience we have published the exam costs below:
 

• CompTIA Network+ N10-006: £176 UK / $294 US
• CompTIA Mobility+ MB0-001: £176 UK / $294 US
• Cisco ICND1 and 2: £132 UK each / $165 US each
• Cisco CCNA: £239 UK each / $300 US each

 
What do I need?
 

All you need is an internet connection and a PC.  While most of the lessons work on MACs, we recommend you use a PC for the best performance.  Certain parts of the course may not display properly on older MACs.  Once you’ve logged into your course, you may be prompted to down certain free plugins such as Java.  Just follow the on-screen prompts.
