The COMPTIA Network+ N10-009 course is a great first step for anyone who is entering the computer networking field. It covers the crucial concepts of network technology, including network fundamentals, implications, operations, security, and troubleshooting. The COMPTIA Network+ certification is unique in that it is vendor neutral and acts as a stepping-stone to more specialized and vendor specific certifications.
The goal of this course is to provide you with all the tools you need to prepare for the COMPTIA: Network+ N10-009 exam — including text explanations, video demos, lab activities, self-assessment questions, and practice exams— to increase your chances of passing the exam on your first try.
DurationILT: 5 days
Self-paced: 90 hours, approximate
AudienceIndividuals who want to learn about network technology and/or those who are currently in the field seeking certification.
Prerequisites- No prior experience is necessary
- If using this course for an additional certification, or to keep skill sharp, it provides a wide review of many non-vendor specific skills.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Explain networking concepts and how they are used
- Describe how to implement networks
- Discuss network operations
- Explain network security
- Describe how to troubleshoot networks
