Qualification Overview
This is a 39-week full-time, open-entry programme based on the internationally recognised curriculums for CompTIA A+ and Network+ and a broad range of generic computer systems engineering and
network administration subjects from several specialist computer engineering NQF unit standards. It also includes subjects for Microsoft MCTS and MCITP for Windows Server 2008 and GNU/Linux.
The programme will provide you with a comprehensive range of knowledge and practical skills in demand by industry employers. It starts with computer assembly and software
installation and follows a logical progression through computer hardware maintenance; operating systems and software applications maintenance; computer peripherals set-up and maintenance; the design and set up of a local area network
(LAN); routers; subneting; wireless networks and culminates with the management of multi-user computer systems.
Qualification Structure & Delivery
The Diploma in Computer Systems & Network Administration combines two qualifications delivered over two 18-week semesters by tutors who are specialists in their
respective fields. Each semester is divided into two terms of nine weeks with a one-week break between terms. The total study time is 39 weeks, comprised of four nine-week terms and three one-week term breaks.
In the first semester we deliver the computer systems engineering subjects including the CompTIA subjects for A+ and Network+ certification. See the Certificate in Computer Systems
Engineering page for details of the first semester.
In the second semester we deliver the computer network administration subjects, including Microsoft specific subjects for MCTS and MCITP
certification, See the Certificate in Computer Network
Administration page for details of the second semester.
A more detailed list of the programme subjects is published in the Electec College Coures Information booklet which we will mail to you as part of the College Information Pack. You may request this information by clicking the link at the
