Key Summary
Computer Network, Architecture, and Management is a two (2) year certificate program that prepares students to become computer network administrators, network architects, or network technology technicians.
The computer network administrator (CNA) works with large companies that have their own IT department, or as an independent consultant working with small-to-medium-sized companies. Within a small business, one individual, most of the time, is the sole person responsible for the operation of a computer network. However, in larger companies (and as the company grows), network administrators work in departments and the role of each CNA becomes specialized. As a result, there are usually more complex configurations and larger networks that must be managed.
A CNA will take action during all stages of the creation of a network. In general, they will:
Plan for the implementation of the migration of a computer network
Ensure the availability of equipment that is needed for installations
Configure and make each of the network’s components functional
Oversee operations
Manage network security and provide user support
