CompTIA Network+ CertificationCompTIA Network+ Certification

This 5-day practical "hands-on" course is the essential foundation for newcomers to network support. The course has been developed to produce competent network support engineers that are capable of taking and passing CompTIA’s Network+ Certification exam.

On course completion, students will be able to:

  • Identify network topologies, cabling, connectors, and components.
  • Install and configure a network card and client software.
  • Identify network protocols and define the concepts of network layers.
  • Understand and implement the TCP/IP protocol.
  • Identify the features of network and client operating systems (Windows, NetWare, Linux, Mac OS).
  • Configure remote and wireless network connections.
  • Configure user and security settings for an operating system.
  • Use test equipment to troubleshoot network connectivity.

Certification track

This course will prepare students to take the N10-003 CompTIA Network+ Certification exam, for the objectives released in May 2005.
CompTIA Network+ Certification has been created as a benchmark for local area networking installation and support. The qualification is endorsed by Microsoft, Novell, Cisco, Compaq, and Lotus, among other leading vendors. This qualification is particularly recommended for students who wish to progress to the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer qualification.

Target audience

This course has been created for students who have or will have the responsibility for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting local area networks, with a particular emphasis on Microsoft Windows Networks, Novell NetWare, and UNIX/Linux-based systems. This course will particularly benefit students pursuing a career in network administration, as a Network Support Technician, Network Administrator, or Network Analyst or in Help Desk support.

Course prerequisites

Students should meet the following criteria prior to attending the course:
Taken and passed both CompTIA A+ Certification exams or have equivalent knowledge and experience.

Six months to one year of post-A+ Certification support experience.
Extensive experience of supporting end-users and PC-based systems.

Course contents

The course consists of two volumes, with a study volume, containing indexed notes and review questions, and a companion volume, containing exam objectives mapping, exam information, practical labs, answers to review questions, and a comprehensive glossary. The course also comes with an online practice exam.

An instructor edition of the course is available with margin notes and tips for the trainer. Access to course resources on gtslearning's trainer portal (www.gtstrainer.com) is also available, subject to meeting minimum order requirements. gtstrainer hosts setup guides and data, PowerPoint slides, timetables, and extra exam information.
