Overview:

The Internet is changing life as we know it—bringing new economic and social opportunities to communities throughout the world, and increasing the global demand for information and communications technology (ICT) skills. Innovations such as social networking, cloud computing, e-commerce, web conferencing, mobility and desktop virtualization are changing the way we live, work, play, and learn. These innovations are all powered by networks, and organizations around the world are experiencing a shortage of qualified ICT candidates to design, install, and manage these networks.

The Cisco Networking Academy® IT Essentials curriculum provides an introduction to the computer hardware and software skills needed to help meet the growing demand for entry-level ICT professionals. The curriculum covers the fundamentals of computer technology, networking, mobility, and security, and also provides an introduction to advanced concepts.

IT Essentials is a hands-on, career-oriented course with an emphasis on practical experience to help students develop fundamental computer skills, along with essential career skills. The Cisco® IT Essentials curriculum helps students prepare for entry-level ICT career opportunities and the CompTIA A+ certification, which helps students differentiate themselves in the marketplace to advance their careers. In addition, the course provides a learning pathway to the Cisco CCNA® curricula.

Description:

IT Essentials is an in-depth exposure to computer hardware and operating systems. Students learn the functionality of hard-ware and software components as well as suggested best practices in maintenance, and safety issues. Through hands on activities and labs, students learn how to assemble and configure a computer, install operating systems and software, and troubleshoot hardware and software problems. In addition, an introduction to networking is included. This course helps students prepare for CompTIA's A+ certification.
