Key Modules and Packages

LAN

LAN(Local Area Network): Networking is the study and practice of how computers and devices connect and communicate, that is, share data, information, and resources. This covers the fundamentals of network types, network devices, communication protocols, and data transmission across a network. A network that connects computers and devices within a small geographic area, such as an office or school. It enables the sharing of files, printers, and internet connections. In this course, you will learn to plan network designs and use hardware components, such as modems, routers, switches, and Ethernet cables (RJ45), to connect these LAN devices, verify, configure (firewalls), and share resources across the entire network and devices.

PABX

PABX(Private Automatic Branch Exchange): A PABX is a private telephone switching system that routes incoming and outgoing calls within medium to large organizations (like a company or call center). The lessons involve physically connecting telephone lines, linking phones to the PABX, and powering on the system. In the configuration, you will learn the required programming to manage extensions, call routing, and other features on the system, with specific steps for both traditional and VoIP PABX systems. Finally, you will perform thorough testing to ensure all features work correctly. These features include extensions, auto attendant, voicemails, conference calling, and call transfers.

VSS

VSS(Video Surveillance System): A VSS is a security system that uses cameras and monitoring devices to record and monitor activities, such as CCTV systems. You will be taught the types of CCTV cameras, their features, the proper positioning of these recording devices in a secure, easily accessible location to ensure optimal viewing and response times during security events, and the backbone of your CCTV systems, which includes various cables, power supplies, and networking equipment. You will also learn to configure IP cameras, assign network settings, and integrate them into a surveillance system for effective monitoring.

Labour Market Opportunities
