Overview
CompTIA Network+ validates the technical skills needed to securely establish, maintain and troubleshoot the essential networks that businesses rely on. 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.
Course Prerequisites
A minimum of 9–12 months of experience in the IT networking field
Course Objectives
The CompTIA Network+ course helps you to:
Establish network connectivity by deploying wired and wireless devices
Explain the purpose of documentation and maintain network documentation
Configure common network services
Explain basic data-center, cloud and virtual networking concepts
Monitor network activity and troubleshoot performance and availability issues
Implement network security hardening techniques
Manage, configure and troubleshoot network infrastructure
Target Audience
This course is intended for entry-level computer support 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.
