Computer Systems Management 1– Course Description

CSM 1 is designed to prepare students for employment or further study in the field of desktop support.  This course challenges students to learn hardware components, system design, and hardware/software support.  Students begin by learning each component of a personal computer system, then move on to designing compatible systems.  Students learn to install and support operating systems and how to effectively implement wireless networking technologies.  This course can lead to certification as an A+ Certified PC technician.

Computer Systems Management 2

CSM 2 is the follow up course to CSM 1, and changes the focus from supporting PC systems to designing, implementing, and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks.  Models of network communication are studied and students work in lab teams to perform hands-on labs where they apply the theories and protocols they have learned.  CSM 2 is a fast-paced, challenging course that can lead to certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).
