Program Description: The goal of this course is to assist you in developing the skills necessary to design small Enterprise LAN's and WAN's. The course provides an introduction to collecting customer requirements, translating those requirements into equipment and protocol needs, and creating a network topology which addresses the needs of the customer. It will also familiarize you with how to create and implement a design proposal for a customer. This course prepares you with the skills required for entry-level Pre-Sales Support and entry-level Network Design jobs.
