Network+ Certification Background

CompTIA has been offering industry standard certification for over 20 years, and has granted 2 million IT certifications in that time. The Network+ certification was created by CompTIA and accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 2008. When granted the Network+ certification, it is good for 3 years. After 3 years, there is a recertification requirement to take the latest exam in order to stay up-to-date. CompTIA describes Network+ as an entry-level certification, which is partially true. I would not pick up the book, read it and feel like you could take the test and be certified. I believe it is good to have at least some familiarity with networking and the different kinds of equipment before you take this on; it will definitely help with keeping pace with your training.

Training Available
There is an abundance of training available for the Network+ certification. At ASM, we offer a bundle of Network+ / A+ or A+/Network+/Security+. As a Network+ certified professional, you will demonstrate proficiency in the following areas:
Design and implement functional networks
Configure, manage, and maintain essential network devices
Use devices such as switches and routers to segment network traffic and create resilient networks
Identify benefits and drawbacks of existing network configurations
Implement network security, standards, and protocols
Troubleshoot network problems
Support the creation of virtualized networks

It is imperative that you find a good training course led by a qualified training instructor. At ASM we provide many training options and course formats including Virtual ILT classrooms (WebEx) and live in person classroom.
