Qualification Overview
This is an 18-week, full-time programme designed to provide technical proficiency and expertise in the implementation and support of computer networks.
This certificate is based on four NZQF 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 Computer Engineering unit standards. It also includes full training
for the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Certification Paths.
Prerequisite Knowledge and Skills
The Certificate in Computer Network Administration (Level 5) also forms the second semester of the Electec College Diploma in Computer Systems & Network Administration (NZQF level
5).
Candidates for this programme must have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills provided in one of the following:
- The Electec College Certificate in Computer
Systems Engineering, or
- A computer engineering qualification from another reputable, tertiary
education provider, or at least one years industry experience in a computer network support role.
Qualification Outline
Students will use virtual machines extensively throughout the course and learn how to create, configure and network them. Each student will build networks of computers with different operating systems on a single
physical system. Virtual machines are a core part of cloud computing, enabling businesses and service providers to efficiently respond to customer demands for high availability and redundancy.
These subjects are complemented with a broad range of computer engineering and network administration subjects from several specialist computer engineering NZQF unit standards.
Microsoft Certifications
The Microsoft Windows Server 2008 qualifications that we deliver on this programme are:
- Microsoft Technical Associate: Security Fundamentals (Exam
98-367)
- Microsoft Technical Associate: Windows Server
Administration Fundamentals ( Exam 98-365)
- Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist:Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration (Exam 70-640)
- Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist:Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration (Exam 70-642)
- Microsoft Certified IT Professional:Server Administrator (Exam 70-646)
MCITP Server Administrator is roughly equivalent to the MCSA certification for Windows Server 2003.
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.
MCITP Enterprise Administrator is roughly equivalent to the MCSE certification for Windows Server 2003.Full details of these certifications are provided on the Microsoft Technical Associate site.
MCSA certified professionals can make the transition from MCSA Windows Server 2003 to MCITP:Server Administrator and Enterprise Administrator with transition exams. More information on upgrade paths is available on the Microsoft site.

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 open source operating systems, the 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 certification exams such as the Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1, or Red Hat Certified Technician.
Computer Wireless Network Subjects
Wireless network technology is now common place in our everyday world of communication and we deliver the essential knowledge and skills:
- Common wireless standards and implement wireless connectivity
- Wireless security using WEP, WPA, WPA2, 802.1x (RADIUS), MAC filtering, SSID hiding, WiFi attacks and various security options
- Site survey to plan coverage and identify interference sources
- Effect of antennae on WiFi signal
- Monitor WAP with SNMP and syslog.
Cisco Network Subjects - New for 2012
This course also delivers a range of specialist Cisco subjects. They will provide you with yet another set of knowledge and skills to give you a competitive edge in the work place. The subjects are:
- Router function, connections and location in a WAN
- Router configuration using the command line interface
- Cisco IOS and networking diagnostic tools
- Static and dynamic routing
- TCP/IP error and control messages, operation and design
- ACLs for filtering network traffic
- Router troubleshooting techniques, physical and network faults
Routers, switches and study guides will be available for students who wish to extend their studies to gain Cisco certifications, such as Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) and Cisco
Certified Network Associate (CCNA).
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 Administrator 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 programme content 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
