This course is a study of computer systems, computer organization, computer subsystems, and operating systems, This course examines CPUs, motherboards, basic input/output systems, memory subsystems, bus structures, expansion cards, ports, connectivity, interfaces, data storage subsystems, and multimedia interface devices. This course also evaluates computer monitoring, computer systems management, operating systems, networking, and security. This course covers the A+ Certification Essentials curriculum.
The course is an advanced study of computer systems and subsystems, processor design, CPU architecture, number systems used in computing, storage subsystems, and memory subsystems, This course also examines the OSI model, networking, , security, performance management, and capacity planning. This course covers the CompTIA A+ Certification curriculum.
This course is a technical study of the hardware systems and architectures in a computer system; it appraises expansion cards, storage subsystems, IO interface subsystems, operating system, Local Area Networking (LAN), Internet connectivity, and security. This course also examines the processes for analyzing problems and for synthesizing solutions related to computer hardware systems. This course covers curriculum related to the CompTIA A+ 220-603 and the CompTIA A+ 220-604 certification exams.
This course introduces the student to local area networking concepts in an easy to understand way. In today's competitive business world, one needs to have a basic understanding of the networking technology that runs it. Whether they choose to delve full bore into the technical side of networking or use what they learn to make an informed decision regarding the design, implementation, and maintenance of their local area network, this course will give the student a good foundation to build upon. Students must have access to MS Visio 2000 or higher . This course meets the topical requirements of the IAW 8570.1M Technical I category.
This course is a study of the evolution, the concepts, and the principles of local, distributed and enterprise networking. This course examines Network design, topologies, architecture, media, interface cards, protocols, problem resolution, communications, administration, operations, and resources. It introduces the student to the concepts of wireless networking, and web-based networks. This course also explores the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Packet (TCP/IP) reference models. This course also examines internetworking servers, and hardware and operating systems maintenance. Students will need access to Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (or higher) with Outlook Express, MS Visio 2000 or higher, Java 2 Runtime, Phex 3.0.2.100, and FineCrypt 9.1. This software is not provided by the course material grant and must be purchased/provided by the student.
This course provides a solid background of fundamentals to tomorrow's information systems professionals. Data communications keeps a balance between the super-technical and the watered-down subject, providing a solid understanding not only of how things work, but how they can be applied to create business solutions. An accompanying interactive CD-ROM, integrates tightly with the course and provides 11 modules that make concepts come to life and allow hands-on practice of skills. This course also features an even more remediation at the end of each chapter and coverage of cutting-edge technologies such as Bluetooth, highly elliptical orbiting satellites, V.92, code division multiplexing, and wireless technologies.
