Course description
CompTIA Network+ Certification
The CompTIA Network+ course is designed to help you prepare for the N10-008 exam. Taking this course will help you prepare for the certification. On completion, Participants will be able to describe the major networking technologies, systems, skills, and tools in use in modern networks.
Unlike other vendor-specific networking certifications, CompTIA Network+ prepares candidates to support networks on any platform. CompTIA Network+ is the only certification that covers the specific skills that network professionals need. Other certifications are so broad, they don’t cover the hands-on skills and precise knowledge needed in today’s networking environments.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
It is not necessary that you pass the CompTIA A+ Certification exams before completing Network+ certification, but it is recommended.
Regardless of whether you have passed A+, it is recommended that you have the following skills and knowledge before starting this course:
- Configure and support PC, laptop, mobile (smartphone / tablet), and print devices.
- Know basic network terminology and functions (such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, switches, routers).
- Configure and manage users, groups, and shared resources in a simple SOHO network.
- Understand the use of basic access control measures, such as authentication, security policy, encryption, and firewalls.
- Understand TCP/IP addressing, core protocols and troubleshooting tools.
Who’s it for?
CompTIA Network+ validates the technical skills needed to securely establish, maintain and troubleshoot the essential networks that businesses rely on. This course is for those who would like to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and gain the required skills to prepare for a career in network support or administration. The course focuses on the CompTIA Network+ exam (N10-008) objectives.
