To ensure your success in this course, you should have experience with computer user skills, including the ability to complete tasks in a Microsoft Windows environment and the ability to search for and access information on the Internet. You can obtain this level of skill and knowledge by taking one of the following United States Career Campus courses:
- Introduction to Personal Computers Using Microsoft® Windows® 10
- Using Microsoft® Windows® 10
- Microsoft® Windows® 10: Transition from Windows® 7
You should also have intermediate knowledge of computing and networking concepts. Any type of technology or system administration training or certification, or experience working in an IT environment, is strongly recommended. For instance, other industry certifications such as CompTIA®'s ITF+®, A+®, or Network+® may be especially helpful for students who are preparing for the CCNA 200-301 exam.
To perform the labs, each student computer will need to have the following software installed prior to the class:
