Cloud computing is proving to be more and more popular, particularly with businesses whose employees increasingly work remotely. This fantastic-value online package is tailored to get you up-to-speed with this exciting and innovative area.

What Does the Course Include?

Start by getting your networking and switching skills up to date by gaining the skillset needed to pass CompTIA Security+ 2014, CompTIA Network+ 2015 and CompTIA Cloud+ certification. Move on to the content that will prepare you to pass the Cisco 100-105 and Cisco 200-105 exams, a first step to achieving the Cisco Switching and Routing certification. You’ll also gain the expertise to pass the Cisco 200-355 base level certification. Finally you’ll complete a Microsoft MCSE introductory course to the monitoring and operation of a private cloud.

How Do I Study?

This online course isn’t just great-value, it’s incredibly time effective for busy professionals who need to fit their study around existing commitments and who can’t commit to a regular weekly class. The incorporation of Live Labs means students complete the package with real-world skills rather than just theoretical knowledge.
