The Cloud Network Technology program is designed for entry-level students to develop skills needed to gain employment as cloud practitioners, computer network technicians, configuration and support technicians, and network and computer systems administrators. You progress through classes in maintenance and repair of Microsoft Windows and Linux Operating systems implemented in physical and cloud-based environments and prepare for industry certifications, including CCNA, Linux+, and AWS Cloud Practitioner.

To earn an Associate of Applied Science-Transfer Degree (AAS-T), you must complete 62 technical credits and 30 additional credits of General Education, with specific requirements in English and mathematics.

This program can be used as an entry point to Renton Technical College’s BAS in Computer Network Engineering.

You can learn more about the Cloud Network Technology program in our $25 class CCP 046 Bridge to Information Technology Programs.

What does a computer network and computer systems administrator do?

What is the average salary?

$103,070 annually Links to an external site. in the Seattle-Bellevue-Tacoma area. Most computer network and computer systems administrators earn at least $74,810; there is a wide salary range. Jobs that pay high salaries may require a four-year bachelor degree!
