The CompTIA Network+ certification is the sign of a qualified networking professional. Our course is designed to teach the CompTIA Network+ skills necessary to prepare for the N10-008 certification exam. CompTIA Network+ certification is vendor-neutral, validates technical competency in network technologies, installation and configuration, media and topologies, management, and security. CompTIA Network + is designed to ensure a common level of understanding for IT Professionals.
This course includes access to a hands-on Practice-Lab which will allow candidates to have training in the practical application of the course concepts without having to buy any additional software and will prepare them for success on the certification exam.
Prerequisite(s): We recommend candidates possess CompTIA A+ certification and networking experience. Students should have basic keyboarding and computer skills and be comfortable navigating the internet.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Recall the principles of networking including IP Addressing, Subnetting, Troubleshooting, Topology Selection, Backbones, and Segments
- Identify the steps for installing and configuring different network types
- Recognize the basics of Ethernet and Networking Devices
- List methods for documenting, monitoring, and managing security threats
- Identify Software, Hardware and Troubleshooting Tools
