CompTIA Network+

The CompTIA Network+ is a vendor neutral networking certification that is trusted around the world. It validates the essential knowledge and skills needed to confidently troubleshooting, configure, or maintenance of a wired and wireless network. The Network+ performance based course will help delegates pave their way onto a career in IT Infrastructure and Security.

This course is intended for IT professionals with a basic knowledge of computer hardware, software, and operating systems who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and acquire the required skills to prepare for a career in network support or administration, or who wish to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ certification (Exam N10-007).

Prerequisites

• Before attending this course, delegates must:
• Hold the CompTIA A+ certification or;
• Have at least 9 to 12 months of networking experience

Gain hands-on experience in networking to pass the CompTIA Network+ certification exam with the CompTIA Network+ course and lab. Interactive lessons and hands-on labs comprehensively cover the N10-008 exam objectives and provide knowledge in areas of networking technologies, including installation, configuration, troubleshooting, peripherals, protocols, and more. The course comes in handy as the CompTIA Network+ study guide which will help you get a full understanding of the challenges you’ll face as a network administrator.

Here’s what you will get

The CompTIA Network+ N10-008 exam verifies that a candidate can assess an enterprise’s network posture, and recommend and implement an appropriate network infrastructure for troubleshooting, configuring, and managing networks. It provides knowledge of various concepts, such as IP addressing, cloud concepts, network services, ethernet switching, network topologies, and many more.
