The future is in communications and predominantly in telecommunications.
This program will provide grassroots training to develop qualified
technicians, supervisors and trainers in installing, maintaining and troubleshooting
modern communication networks incorporating fiber optics,
cellular, microwave, and satellite systems. Hands-on skills will be emphasized
to enable students to face real-world situations which will
prepare them for entering industry. Students planning to transfer to a
four-year technical institution should contact that institution to check
transferable courses. This curriculum prepares students to sit for the
A+ certification and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification
exam and Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification
exams.
