The Filipino Computer Club (FCC), an organization under the auspices of Philippine Consulate General in Dubai and Northern Emirates, presents Practical Networking Workshops, a new series of three workshops designed to teach participants the least to know issues related to computer networking.
These workshops will be conducted in the simple training environment to be held at Rewaq Cultural and Educational center in Al Twar.
The Practical Networking workshop series is geared toward early career network technicians and Information Technology professionals. Participants will increase their technical and hands-on skills, learn some of the latest networking technologies, network with professionals and experts in the field and develop new skills to be competitive in the Internetworking industry.
The first workshop, Introduction to Networking, introduces the topics essential to understanding the old and modern network environment. This workshop will be presented in two hours.
The second workshop, Essential Tools and How to Use It, will teach the participants the basic needs in connecting computers to build a small network. They will also make their own cable extensions and patch cords as part of the hands-on exercises.
The final workshop is the actual practice of networking PCs. Participants will learn to how to configure computers to be connected to the network through hands-on exercises.
“There are fewer theories in these Practical Networking workshops, just the basic understanding and purely hands-on but the knowledge they will acquire will be enough to setup a small home network that can share files, printers and Internet access. FCC has two other short courses in Network Administration just in case if the participant needs to understand and learn more about Networking,” said Eng. Milo Torres, FCC’s instructor in Practical Networking.
Cost for the three workshops is free to FCC members; a contribution of AED 30 is required to purchase materials for the three-day workshops. FCC’s annual membership fee is only AED 100. Participants can enroll at REWAQ Cultural and Educational center on April 17 from 1pm to 6pm,
