Network Certification Training
CompTIA Network+® Certification
The CompTIA Network+ certification is an international
industry credential that validates the knowledge
of networking professionals with at least nine
months of experience in network support or administration
or adequate academic training. A typical candidate
would have CompTIA A+ certification or equivalent
knowledge, but this is not a prerequisite.
An accepted foundation-level, vendor-neutral
certification for networking professionals,
many IT certifications integrate CompTIA Network+
into their curriculums. There are approximately
135,000 CompTIA Network+ certified professionals
worldwide. The skills and knowledge measured
by this examination were derived from an industry-wide
job task analysis and validated through an industry-wide
survey of more than 2,500 participants.
Earning a CompTIA Network+ certification demonstrates
that a candidate can describe the features and
functions of networking components, and possesses
the knowledge and skills needed to install,
configure and troubleshoot basic networking
hardware, protocols and services. The exam tests
technical ability in the areas of media and
topologies, protocols and standards, network
implementation, and network support. The exam
also covers new technologies such as wireless
networking and gigabit Ethernet.
