Introduction to Year 2 - Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE) course.

This is a course for students thinking that maybe technology is a viable career option after all. By this point you should've made up your mind. You know what's involved in the academy. You will be left to do a lot more of the work independently. You should have the basic tools learned from last year to get the job done this year. Feel free to use academy/binder/notes from last year as much as you need to.
