Most businesses and services rely on networks. Not just between people, but also between computer hardware, software and technical devices. Imagine the chaos and inconvenience caused when hospitals, banks or airports suffer network downtime.

Your responsibilities will include keeping the network and services it provides running smoothly, monitoring the network to spot problems before they affect users, doing upgrades and repairs, assigning network resources and setting up the network to support new services. The Diploma in IT in Network Management will prepare you for a connected career!
