This course focuses on deeply understanding the Fundamentals of Networking in the I.T. sector and how networking devices and services work in real-world scenarios. Even if you have no clue about networks, this course will provide all the starting knowledge you need to understand how networking devices work, how networks communicate, how they are managed, and much more.

What will you cover throughout the course journey?

We’ll start from “What is a Network?” moving to “How the DNS works?” then to “How the Subnets and VLAN work?” and much more. Moreover, during the course, you’ll also learn how to handle and configure the networking devices to use them as you want. We’ll not stop there, after you’re done analyzing all this, later in the course, you’ll learn how to 4-way Wi-Fi Handshake works.

Make sure you take a pen, divide the page, left for topic name and right for what you understood. This is how I rinse and repeat my stuff, the old-school way!

After finishing the course, you will be confident enough to explain and clarify all the networking stuff to yourself as well as to those who are in need of some solid and clear fundamentals. So now you can tickle the person next to you with “Hey, you know this?… or that…?”. I’ll be more than happy to see you helping others as I do.

All the Best and see you in the course.
