Program description
This curriculum will equip students to work as technical assistance in the fast-growing fields of client/server computing, cloud computing, operating system virtualization, enterprise networks, administration, and Internet management. In their final semester, students undergo a work placement component that provides on-the-job training with a local company.
To address the demands of local employers, our courses are continually expanding to encompass a blend of cutting-edge and classic technologies. This program is ideal for students who are interested in computers but not in math, physics, or electronics. Many courses in the CN&TS curriculum prepare students for Microsoft, A+, LPIC-1, and Network + certifications.
This course is available at our Kingston and Cornwall locations.
