CompTIA Network+ N10-009

Course Summary

CompTIA Network+ validates the core skills necessary to establish, maintain, troubleshoot and secure networks in any environment, preparing you for a rewarding career in networking and cybersecurity

Why is it different?

Unlike other vendor-specific networking certifications, CompTIA Network+ prepares candidates to support networks on any platform. It provides the foundation you need to work on networks anywhere.

CompTIA Network+ is the only certification that covers the specific skills that network engineers need. Other certifications are so broad, they don’t cover the hands-on skills and precise knowledge needed to in today’s networking environments.

What’s in this version?

The new CompTIA Network+ 009 focuses on foundational networking tools and technologies used to create secure networks, both on-premises and the public cloud, and guarantee the availability of critical business information.
