Knowledge Base and Submit MS Internetworking Questions
SYS-ED reviews information in the public domain distributed by software companies, international standards committees, and purveyors of open source software. We perform our own independent analysis and assessments of benchmarks for software updates and new products. Vendor documentation and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. SYS-ED clients are invited to submit Microsoft operating system, networking, and internetworking questions. Our system consultants and technology partners answer, explain, and where applicable reference source documentation. Questions are reviewed and answered on a first-come/first serve-basis.

Learning Paths

Courseware for Teaching

SYS-ED courseware incorporates industry standard content and consultancy derived techniques for installing, administering, and optimizing Microsoft's implementation of Active Directory and open standards. The classic principles of adult learning are applied to the content, translating subject matter into performance objectives, narrative descriptions, and diagrams which explain the architecture, demonstrate the administrative tools, and provide troubleshooting guidelines.

MS Operating System and Networks Training

MS Operating System and Networks Courses
SYS-ED's MS operating system and network courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" operating system and network training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their support staff requirements and acquire specialized internetworking skills. ¹

Courseware
SYS-ED's MS operating system and networks courseware is highly respect in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of network configurations, walkthroughs, and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach how to implement and administer Microsoft networks with UNIX (e.g. UNIX variants ²).

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our goal is to provide quality computer training for highly motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our system consultants have been working with DOS, Microsoft Windows and network operating systems since their initial release and equally as important average 30 years of experience in information technology for business enterprise: operating systems, administration, and programming. And know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced materials. After a course, they're available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Microsoft Operating System and Network Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is ONLY allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the correct learning path.

Microsoft Operating System and Network Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in Manhattan. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored operating system and network training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
