Training Course in Practical Internet Skills: From Basics to Advanced Use
1Summary
No business today reaches the whole world without the internet — it is the single infrastructure that lets millions of private, academic, governmental and commercial networks talk to each other, whether connected by copper wire, fibre optics or wireless links. Mastering it, from the basics through to advanced use, is what lets an organisation actually use that reach rather than just have access to it.
This course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is built for exactly that: developing real skills in networks and internet use so participants can grow their work and connect to the wider world. Technically and administratively, these networks can differ widely and even operate independently of one another, yet together they carry enormous volumes of data and services — from the web pages people browse daily to email, instant messaging, file transfer and voice communication. It all rests on network design principles that trace back to 1969, when the U.S. Department of Defense's ARPANET project first linked universities and research institutions to share computing power — the same foundation the modern internet still builds on.
