Overview
CompTIA Network+ validates the
knowledge and skills of networking
professionals. It is an international,
vendor-neutral certification that
recognises a technician’s ability to
describe the features and functions of
networking components and to install,
configure and troubleshoot basic
networking hardware, protocols and
services.
Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Network+ candidates have at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or adequate academic training, along with CompTIA A+ certification.
The demand for skilled network support
professionals continues to grow, and
CompTIA Network+ is a valuable
credential to help start or enhance
a networking career. In fact, many
IT certifications integrate CompTIA
Network+ into their curriculums.
The exam covers network technologies,
installation and configuration, media and
topologies, management, and security.
Candidate job roles include network
administrator, network technician,
network installer, help desk technician
and IT cable installer.
Companies such as Dell, HP, Ricoh,
Sharp and Xerox recommend or require
CompTIA Network+ for their networking
technicians. It is a technical prerequisite
option for IT technicians seeking to join
the Apple Consultants Network, and is
recognized by the U.S. Department of
Defense.
The current version of CompTIA
Network+, exam code N10-005, was
released 1st Dec 2011. The revised
objectives address virtual networking
and give increased attention to network
security and coverage of the seven-layer
OSI (Open System Interconnection) model.

programme will be trained to a level
where they are thoroughly prepared to
take the CompTIA Network+ certification.
