A List of Free Networking courses that offer Free certifications

denisehilton

Just discovered a number of free network certifications and courses that anyone can take. I believe as a beginner, it is always best to start with a free course rather than hundreds of dollars to the tech giants. You can always opt for the advanced certifications once you have established a solid ground in Network administration / security.

What's best about these courses is that they give you free certificates of completion. And they are recognized institutions that are globally recognized.

Here's the list of courses:

• Charles Sturt University - Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Short course

• Coursera - Cisco Networking Basics Specialization

• Fortinet - Network Security Associate

• Per Scholas - Network Support Certification Track

• OpenEdu - Network Security Course

• SaylorOrg - Computer Communications and Networks

More details about these courses and application procedures are given HERE.
