Introduction to the course

Our Network Engineer Level 4 programme gives participants the skills to design, install, maintain and support communication networks within an organisation or between organisations. They will then go on to understanding network configuration, cloud, network administration, monitoring tools, and be able to give technical advice and guidance.
