Qualification Overview
This is a 16-week full-time course designed to provide technical proficiency and expertise in the implementation and support of computer network systems. This programme also forms the second semester of the Electec College Diploma in Computer Systems & Network Administration (level 5).
Candidates for this course must have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills provided in the Electec College Certificate in Computer Systems Engineering, or a computer engineering qualification from another provider, or at
least one years industry experience in a computer network support role.
The Certificate in Computer Network Administration (level 6) is based on four NQF Computer Engineering unit standards from the domain of Electronic Engineering, administered by the ETITO (Electrotechnology Industry
Training Organisation). Electec College is the only private tertiary provider in NZ accredited to deliver these specialist unit standards.
It also includes full training for the following Microsoft certification exams:
-
Microsoft Exam 70-640 - TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
-
Microsoft Exam 70-642:- TS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
-
Microsoft Exam 70-646:- TS: Windows Server 2008 Server Administrator
These subjects will also prepare you with a substantial foundation of knowledge and skills to undertake extra study in your own time to become a Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise Administrator (see more details below).
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Certifications
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 certifications are:
-
Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration (Exam 70-640)

GNU/Linux Subjects
Many organisations use a mix of Windows and Unix or GNU/Linux operating systems. Unix and Linux are widely used in servers (web, ftp, mail etc), and consumer electronic devices (Google Android, Apple iPhone, TiVo
etc). Many computer support positions require some exposure to Unix/Linux in order to support these systems. Electec College has chosen to base the Linux component of the course around specialist ETITO based unit standards.
These unit standards cover opensource operating systems, the Ubuntu Linux GUI, file and directory systems, printing, backup systems, system processes, memory management, the shell (bash), network system components,
network operating system planning, installation, administration and maintenance.
Students who wish to extend their Linux training are encouraged to study for one of the Linux Professional Institure (LPI) certification exams.
Internal Assessments and Certification Exams
The College Certificate in Computer Network Administration is based on a comprehensive range of practical assignments and internal assessments. This work provides a practical application for the lab-work and network
systems theory covered during the programme and incorporates the use of Microsoft Official Courseware and teaching resources specifically prepared by our industry experienced staff.
The course assignments and assessments conducted by the College are compulsory to pass the Electec College Certificate in Computer Network Administration, but the external certification exams are optional
and therefore are not included in the course fee. The MCTS and MCITP exam fees published on the On-line Certification Exams & Fees page are heavily discounted for Electec College students under the Microsoft IT Academy Program.
You have a post-graduate option to study for your Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise Adminsitrator certification with self-directed study after the completion of this course. We will provide you
with the official courseware at our cost price and the tutorial support at no extra cost. This is a special service provided to our graduates and is not a formal part of the NZQA registered course.
A more detailed list of the course subjects is published in the Electec College Course Information booklet which we will mail to you as part of the College Information Pack. See the link at the bottom of this page.
NZ domestic student fee: $2,875 (inclus GST)
