Network Technician / Server Technician

Course Description

The setup and maintenance of hardware, software and networks in an organisation are critical functions that ensure the smooth running of every part of a business enterprise. Network and server technicians are not necessarily IT support staff but do often need to assist users with networking and software issues where required. Often a network or server technician in small to medium size businesses fill both IT support as well as network support functions.

Another function of a network/server technician is knowledge of Internet connectivity and the various accounts/cloud systems that the company may be using. This is a very important function that requires technical knowledge at the highest level to ensure minimal downtown.
