CISE18 — Cisco It Essentials (a+ Prep)
<strong>THIS IS A NONCREDIT COURSE</strong> This course covers the fundamentals of computer hardware and software as well as advanced concepts. Students who complete this course will be able to describe the internal components of a computer, assemble a computer system, install an operating system, and troubleshoot using system tools and diagnostic software. Students will also be able to connect to the Internet and share resources in a network environment. New topics included in this version include the Microsoft Windows operating system and mobile devices, while the networking and troubleshooting topics have been expanded. Hands-on lab activities will continue to be an essential element of the course. In support of this, virtual learning tools are integrated into this course. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop are stand-alone tools designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive "hands-on" experience in learning environments with limited physical equipment. Packet Tracer activities will be designed for use with Packet Tracer 5.3.x. The inclusion of Packet Tracer will allow alignment to new CompTIA networking certification objectives without requiring academies to purchase extra networking equipment. FEE.
