Network Courses

Network courses can help you learn network architecture, protocols, security measures, and troubleshooting techniques. You can build skills in configuring routers and switches, managing network traffic, and implementing security policies. Many courses introduce tools like Wireshark for network analysis and Cisco Packet Tracer for simulation, allowing you to practice real-world networking scenarios and understand how different components interact within a network.
