Career Guidance / Network Administrator

Definition One of the most feared expressions in modern times is ‘The computer is down.’ ~Norman Ralph Augustine Network administrators manage networks & communications systems of an organization. Network administrators install, support and manage the network and computer systems that keep information flowing. They implement and maintain network hardware and software, troubleshoot network problems, and ensure network security, availability & performance standards. Courses To become a network administrator without a formal degree, the candidate, have to apply for the CISCO or other global certifications/diploma courses in hardware and networking after passing graduation/post-graduation. These courses will help him to acquire the knowledge of networking skills to handle LAN and WAN networks. Another pathway to enter in this field is to apply for formal degree in the computer related field like Bachelor in IT/Computer Science/Engineering. CISCO/Microsoft certification courses along with formal degree will be an added advantage.
