Definition
& Purpose
The CompTIA
Network+ certification is an international industry credential that validates
the knowledge of networking professionals with at least nine months of
experience in network support or administration or adequate academic training.
A typical candidate would have CompTIA A+ certification or equivalent
knowledge, but this is not a prerequisite. An accepted foundation-level,
vendor-neutral certification for networking professionals, many IT
certifications integrate CompTIA Network+ into their curriculums. There are
approximately 135,000 CompTIA Network+ certified professionals worldwide. The
skills and knowledge measured by this examination were derived from an industry-wide
job task analysis and validated through an industry-wide survey of more than
2,500 participants
Earning a
CompTIA Network+ certification demonstrates that a candidate can describe the
features and functions of networking components, and possesses the knowledge
and skills needed to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking
hardware, protocols and services. The exam tests technical ability in the areas
of media and topologies, protocols and standards, network implementation, and
network support. The exam also covers new technologies such as wireless
networking and gigabit Ethernet.
The
technology community identifies CompTIA Network+ as the perfect entry into a
networking career. Top technology companies including Microsoft, Novell, Cisco,
Compaq, Lotus and 3Com recognize CompTIA Network+ as part of their
certification track. Many other corporations recommend or require the CompTIA
Network+ certification for their IT employees. Companies such as CDW Computer
Centers and CompuCom know
the value of a CompTIA Network+ certification and require it of their IT
employees. NexInnovations relies on IT certifications to validate their
employees' skills. As the demand for skilled network support professionals
grows, CompTIA Network+ is quickly becoming the standard for networking
