Training on the new NetWare 4.1 operating system has already begun
with the first group of network managers having started on February
20, 1995 for three full weeks of courses. The initial offering
includes four courses which provide a base for understanding the new
operating system. These courses are:
After a series of these courses have been offered to the network
managers, the two remaining courses will be taught. They are:
The cost of training each network manager is approximately 1/20 of
what a student would pay for these courses in the market place. This
translates into a cost savings to the University of more than 95% per
student over prices of commercially available courses. Each attendee
receives a certificate upon completion of each course and may then take
Novell s nationally administered test at an independent testing site
for CNE certification.. Each test costs $85.00 for which the students
must pay themselves. If they achieve the necessary minimum score on
all the tests in a curriculum, they will be awarded their CNE by Novell.
The classes are being held in a new training facility in the
Information Sciences Building jointly created by the School of Library
and Information Sciences and the Computing Center (ISB 203). The
facility, which has state of the art equipment, is designed in such a
way as to present the best possible combination to the learner of
instructor-led software training and classical lecturing.
This kind of effort by the University to provide the technical
training needed to maintain its strategic technical infrastructure
demonstrates to its peers and to the community at large that we value
not only what we can do to educate and empower others but we also value
what we can do to further the technological understanding of our own.
Through programs such as these, the University of North Texas
continues to demonstrate its technological leadership as it moves into
the twenty-first century.
