NexGenT

I have not completed the NETWORK+ Certification Course yet, but I have an AAS in IT, Network Infrastructure and Security Support and have experience as a Network Operations Center manager, supervisor, and technician through my time with the US Army while on Active duty, in addition to my experience as an RF Technician (Satcom, Wideband, Telemetry, and Ground Radio). I have been through many training courses in both branches, whether Skillsoft or branch training OJT/CBT courses concerning networks and network security, and I am finding the instruction by Mr. Hess to be exactly what one needs when it comes to understanding the essentials needed for getting this certification. It is a great refresher after being away from the Guard for two years, and I am excited to finish and finally get the certifications that I never went after when I finished my degree.

I currently work as an Electronics Technician for the FAA as part of an Environmental team. I maintain lighted Navigational Aides (Runway landing lights), Power Conditioning Systems, Generators, HVAC Systems, their Control Systems, and much more. I love my job, but I think it is time to make that change I’ve thought time and again about over the years, and I believe having my NETWORK+ certification is the first step in that direction.
