This course is great for students considering a career in IT, as well as non-IT professionals who just need to understand computer networks. If you need a foundational understanding of how computers actually access files, swap information and get you online, this is the right course for you.

Is this introductory training in networking associated with any certifications?

No, although this course is a great source of foundational knowledge about computer networking, it's not designed to help anyone pass a specific certifying exam. Certifications prefer it when you know one piece of technology or vendor really well, but this course focuses on broad knowledge and understanding.

If this introductory networking course gets you curious about the IT field, consider the IT Fundamentals+ from CompTIA – it's specifically designed to help you see if IT is a good fit for you. Or if you know you want to get started in IT, consider Network+ – also from CompTIA.

Why should you take this introduction to networking training?
