The objective of the Network Systems Technology Certificate program is to prepare students with the knowledge, technical skills and work habits required for an entry-level position in the field of network technology. Additionally, the core curriculum of the program, coupled with professional work experience, is designed to assist students in preparing for exams leading to certification as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. Certification exams may be taken at designated Microsoft testing centers. Graduates of this program may install, service and support microcomputers; administer and troubleshoot information systems that incorporate Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server and Workstation in a simple computing environment; and provide technical support for Windows, MS-DOS and Internetworking.

The length of the program is 36 weeks (classes are offered in a weekend format on Friday nights and Saturdays). All students must complete the program with 36 credit hours. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be awarded a certificate. This program is represented to lead to multiple job opportunities and is not meant to lead to any particular outcome, including that specified in the program title. Although the College will assist the student with job placement, finding a job is the ultimate responsibility of the student. The College does not guarantee that any student will be placed in any particular job, or at all.
