Program Description
The CompTIA Network+ certification validates a professional-level understanding of new technologies such as cloud and virtualization. CompTIA Network+ certifies an IT professional’s knowledge and skills in creating and implementing functional networks. Configure, administer and keep critical network equipment in good working order.
CompTIA Network+ allows you to support the network regardless of the platform, unlike other vendor-specific networking certifications. You need it as the base before specializing in a vendor solution. The only industry certification that addresses both wired and wireless networks is CompTIA Network+.
To earn your CompTIA Network+ certification, you’ll need to pass one certification exam:
