CompTIA Network+ CertificationCompTIA Network+ Certification

Training courseware overview

This practical five-day “hands-on” course is intended for students wishing to qualify with Network+ Certification. It specifically prepares for the new exam content that launched in 2005.

A typical student will have 6-12 months of post A+ Certification experience (or equivalent). The key objective of the course is to provide enough information for a student to become a competent network support engineer, capable of taking and passing the Network+ Certification test.

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
  • This course has been approved under the CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum program

Important - Network+ Certification 2007 edition

CompTIA has made a number of minor changes to Network+ Certification exam for 2007. The code has been updated to include "2007 edition" as part of their ISO9001 procedures. We understand that they have also included some new unmarked questions in the exam that do not count towards the candidate's final score.

If you have experienced any problems with students who have recently taken the Network+ Certification exam, we would like to hear from you. Please e-mail your comments to sales@gtslearning.com and we will pass on your feedback to CompTIA.

CompTIA has given us their unequivocal assurances that no changes have been made to the marked exam content and that gtslearning's CompTIA-approved courseware remains completely up-to-date for exam purposes.

Exam voucher bundle

A special courseware bundle is now available for CompTIA Network+ that includes a discounted voucher for the certification exam as well as the full courseware. This voucher typically represents a saving of around 10% from the CompTIA non-member price and can be redeemed at a Prometric testing centre.

Target audience

This course has been created for students with the responsibility for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting local area networks, with particular emphasis on Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare. The course has been developed to produce competent network support engineers that are capable of taking and passing CompTIA’s “Network+ Certification” exam. This qualification is particularly recommended for students who wish to progress to the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer qualification.

Students should meet the following criteria prior to attending the course:

  • Taken and passed both 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
