NETtech is the complete training system for students wanting to become Network Support Technicians. The expertly written Student Instruction Manual guides students through the course with step-by-step directions, with built-in stops for instructor feedback. Four specially-selected textbooks complement the Graymark manual, providing a complete instruction experience for your students.
The student should have completed the Graymark Commander course, or have equivalent experience. The classroom should be equipped with Commander Trainers or equivalent IBM-compatible PCs, and Windows 95/98.
The NETtech Training System accomplishes its objective through five interrelated elements:
- Student Training Program
- Instructor's Package
- Network Service Tool Set
- Classroom Consumables Package
- Client/Server Package
Purchase only the packages needed. Use existing IBM-compatible hardware and software. Use existing Novell or Microsoft client/server licenses.
