Network5 Certification for Knowledge
Workers
Technology today is ‘networked’
– even in the literal sense. Networks have become an integral part
of mundane existence. It is inconceivable to think of communications
exclusive of networks. Network 5 serves to expose the learner to
basic networking concepts.
Organizations employ network and system administrators to cater to
its networking needs. However, today’s knowledge workers are
increasingly called upon to become self reliant and competent to
deal with routine operational tasks. Contemporary job profiles seek
greater knowledge and productivity factors from the average office
user.
There is a felt need for knowledge workers to bring more to the work
place than just functional domain expertise. A certain degree of
technical proficiency is perceived to contribute more to the
workplace in terms of better productivity and higher efficiency.
There is better communication, lesser support downtimes and network
lapses within the organization and hence greater cost savings and
profits.
Do these employees need to know how to configure a routing table or
open the shortest path? No.
What these knowledge workers of today need to herald in an
integrated environment is the ‘Alphabet Soup of Networking’ – the
basic core knowledge to know how infrastructure enables a work
environment. They need to be trained into the support system that
the network administrators and telecommunications engineers can
count upon to effect a seamless and effectively networked
environment.
Network 5 is not meant for office goers alone. The average home user
who wants to optimize resource utilization, share infrastructure and
make the best of technology and convenience is a candidate as well.
The student who needs to find an economical balance for networked
resources and to make the most of the Internet is a potential
Network 5 user.
If you are somebody who banks online, accesses work online, travels
extensively and yet stay connected, logs onto wireless networks,
subscribe to a broadband connection or use a computer system at work
/home, you need to have Network 5 to help you stay abreast in this
networked world.
Network yourself with Network 5. Take control because you cannot
afford to stay disconnected in this highly connected world.
