Network Administrator Course (Online) - Free Distance learning Free Formattemp

"Nuove Frontiere Lavoro", in collaboration with the training organization "Idee Insieme", is publishing a "Network Administrator" course on an online platform - and funded by the Forma.Temp fund.

This course aims to train students on the theoretical foundations necessary to better understand the practical aspects of network management, starting from a small PAN network up to the largest and most segmented corporate LAN networks.

The use of simulation tools (Cisco Packet Tracer and others) will allow us to apply theoretical concepts to the creation of simulated models of corporate networks.

Advanced scanning software will allow you to analyze and understand malfunctions, slowdowns, and intrusions that could arise within your computer network, starting with your home network.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the project is to create a professional figure capable of:

  1. Manage and configure IT systems (operating systems, applications, etc.);
  2. Build the infrastructure necessary for certain IT systems to be interconnected
  3. Maintain and install software and hardware components of computers that are part of a local network
  4. Implement network and data security systems
  5. Define procedures for obtaining authorization from users to access a network
