CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Network+ validates the knowledge and skills of networking professionals. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that recognises an IT technician's ability to describe the features and functions of networking components and to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols and services.
Many IT certifications integrate CompTIA Network+ into their curriculums. Microsoft added CompTIA Network+ into their Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) program, and other corporations such as Novell, Cisco, HP, Lotus and 3Com also recognise CompTIA Network+ as part of their certification tracks.
Exams
There is a single multiple choice exam of 90 minutes duration.
Pre-Requisites
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.
