An Advanced Diploma in Networking is a professional, technical qualification designed to bridge the gap between basic IT support and specialized network engineering.
Module 1: Computer Hardware & Client Operating Systems
Computer Architecture: Motherboards, Chipsets, Processors (CPU), and Memory (RAM) types.Storage Technologies: HDD vs. SSD, NVMe, Partitioning schemes (MBR/GPT), and RAID Configurations (0, 1, 5, 10).Windows Client Administration: Installing Windows 10/11, User Account Management, Registry Editor, Disk Management, and BitLocker encryption.Linux Fundamentals: Installation (Ubuntu/CentOS), File System Hierarchy, Basic Commands (ls, grep, cat), File Permissions (chmod/chown), and VI/Nano editors.
Module 2: Core Networking Fundamentals
Network Models: OSI 7-Layer Model vs. TCP/IP Model.IP Addressing: IPv4 Classful & Classless addressing, Subnetting, VLSM, CIDR, and IPv6 basics.Physical Media: Fiber Optics (Single/Multi-mode), Twisted Pair cabling standards (Cat6/Cat7), and Connector types.Network Protocols: ARP, ICMP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SSH, Telnet.
Module 3: Routing & Switching (Enterprise Infrastructure)
Switching Concepts: MAC Address Tables, VLANs (Virtual LANs), 802.1Q Trunking, VTP, and Inter-VLAN Routing.Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Preventing loops, RSTP, and EtherChannel (Link Aggregation).Routing Protocols: Static Routing, Dynamic Routing (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP), and BGP basics.High Availability: First Hop Redundancy Protocols (HSRP, VRRP) and Gateway Load Balancing.NAT (Network Address Translation): Static NAT, Dynamic NAT, and PAT (Port Address Translation).
Module 4: Server Administration
Windows Server (2019/2022)Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).Group Policy Objects (GPO).DNS & DHCP Server configuration.File & Storage Services (NTFS permissions, Shares).Hyper-V Virtualization.Linux Server Administration:Shell Scripting (Bash automation).Web Server Setup (Apache/Nginx).File Sharing (Samba/NFS).Process Management (Systemd, Cron jobs).
Module 5: Network Security
Perimeter Security: Firewalls (Packet Filtering vs. Next-Gen), DMZ setup, and ACLs (Access Control Lists).VPN Technologies: Site-to-Site IPSec VPNs, SSL VPNs, and DMVPN.Access Control: AAA Framework (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting), RADIUS, and TACACS+.Threat Management: IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems), Malware protection, and Phishing awareness.Wireless Security: WPA2/WPA3 Personal vs. Enterprise, Guest Networks.
Module 6: Cloud Networking & Virtualization
Virtualization: VMware vSphere, ESXi Hypervisor, vCenter Server, and Virtual Switching.Cloud Fundamentals: IaaS vs. PaaS vs. SaaS, Public vs. Private Cloud.AWS/Azure Networking:Virtual Private Clouds (VPC/VNet).Cloud Subnets, Route Tables, and Internet Gateways.Security Groups and Network ACLs.Load Balancers (ELB/ALB).
Module 7: Network Automation & Programmability
Python for Networking: Basic data types, loops, and using libraries like Netmiko and Napalm to push configurations.Configuration Management: Ansible Basics, Playbooks, Inventory Management, and YAML syntax.SDN (Software Defined Networking): Control Plane vs. Data Plane, Cisco DNA Center concepts, and REST APIs.
