Course Summary:

Over the past two years I have taken numerous networking courses that have taught me a wide variety of networking concepts. Concepts such as but not limited to WAN, LAN, infrastructures, routing protocols, switching protocols, IPv4, IPv6, terminating cables, setup, and technical support.

The schooling I received was presented through a hybrid between hands on real-world equipment and scenarios through lab environments. As well as simulated and virtual concepts taught through industry used software and applications. The content learned from the networking courses provided a strong base of knowledge which proves to be valuable throughout my IT career.

Currently and going forward I continue to use the skills and knowledge I learned everyday. A short term goal of mine is to become CCNA certified. To accomplish this goal I will continue to build on my strong base of knowledge and continue to expand my skills from here on out.
