This course provides students with a CompTIA certification path designed to help them prepare for and pass the CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Certification Exam to become CompTIA Network+ certified. It is recommended, but not required, that students have their CompTIA A+ Certification and at least 9 to 12 months of networking experience before attempting their CompTIA A+ certification. For students looking for an entry-level certification, our Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certification training courses may be a better fit.

The course aligns with CompTIA Network+ competencies, including network architecture, network operations, network security, troubleshooting, industry standards and practices, and network theory. Additionally, the course offers students CompTIA Network+ practice exams and a CompTIA Network+ exam discount for students who complete the course.
