A beginner-friendly, face-to-face Network+ program in Perth. You'll plug in cables, configure switches, fix broken connections and learn how networks really work — on real equipment, with an instructor beside you. No prior IT experience needed.
Entry-level IT Support & Network Technician
↳ no network, no business. It's that simple.
Payroll, patient records, point-of-sale, CCTV, Wi-Fi, phones, cloud apps — every one of them depends on a network that someone designed, installed and keeps alive. That's why networking skills travel across every industry in Perth.
Most Network+ prep is videos and practice questions. You can pass that way — and still have no idea what to do when a new starter's laptop won't connect or the whole floor loses internet.
Employers hiring for entry-level roles want someone who's already done it. So every topic in this stream is paired with a hands-on lab: real cables, real switches, real faults to find and fix.
Aligned to the current CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam objectives. The percentage is each domain's weight on the exam.
These are tasks you'll complete yourself on real equipment — the same checks working techs run every day.
Read the output, spot the tell-tale address and work out that DHCP has failed.
Work through the layers to prove it's a DNS problem, not "the internet is down".
Build VLANs on a real switch and assign ports so traffic stays where it belongs.
Check interface status, find the cause and bring it back — then document what you did.
Here's an illustrative first-week queue for a new IT support and network technician at a Perth organisation. Every ticket on the right maps to a lab you'll already have completed in the Accelerator. You won't be seeing any of it for the first time.
Illustrative scenario — this stream hasn't run its first cohort yet. We'll replace this with real graduate stories once it has.
Spot the 169.254 address, trace it to a dead wall port, patch to a working one and confirm a lease.
Ping by IP works, by name doesn't. Fix the DNS setting and explain it to the office manager simply.
Patch the ports, assign them to the staff VLAN, test each desk and update the network diagram.
New to IT altogether. Network+ is the friendliest first step, and we assume no prior experience.
Technical background overseas, little local exposure. Gain hands-on proof for your first Australian IT role.
From retail, trades, admin or hospitality. Turn your problem-solving into a technical career.
Network+ (start here) → CCNA (go deeper into routing and switching) → Security+ (move into cyber). Each stream builds on the one before.
Our mission is to turn you into Candidate B.
No. CompTIA recommends some prior experience before the exam, but this stream is built for beginners. We start from the basics and build your hands-on experience as we go.
If you're new to IT, start with Network+. It covers the fundamentals across all vendors. If you already know the basics and want to focus on Cisco routing and switching, the CCNA stream is the next step.
Yes. The whole point is hands-on work on real equipment with an instructor who can see what you're doing and correct it immediately.
The current CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) objectives. We'll align the program to whichever version is current when you enrol.
We'll confirm exam voucher details when enrolment opens. Register interest to be first to hear.
No — nobody honestly can. What we can promise is that you'll finish having done the work, not just read about it, and able to show that in an interview.
Small face-to-face cohorts, limited seats. Register interest now and we'll tell you as soon as dates and enrolment open.
