CompTIA Network+ Certification

Half the incidents reported as application problems are not. They sit one layer down, in routing, name resolution, latency, or a firewall rule somebody set months ago. CompTIA Network+ gives you the model to examine that layer systematically instead of guessing. The largest part of the exam, at 24 percent, is exactly that: troubleshooting. Unlike most CompTIA exams, this one can also be sat in German.

What this module delivers.

Network problems often end up with the application because nobody can isolate them. Network+ changes that: you read topologies, configure services and isolate faults methodically. Your team then stops passing network faults on.

Fit

Who this module is designed for

Typical roles

  • You handle incidents where it is unclear whether the network is the cause.
  • You look after switches, wireless or network services without that being your only job.
  • You hand network requirements to service providers and have to assess their answers.

Prerequisites

No prerequisites

You can start right away. Helpful: IT fundamentals at CompTIA A+ level, nine to twelve months of practice in network or user support.

Consider instead CompTIA Security+ · CompTIA - Security+ (Plus) Certification Fits better if security across the whole IT landscape interests you, not only in the network.

Curriculum

CompTIA Network+ Curriculum in Detail

The course follows the five CompTIA Network+ exam domains in the order in which they build on each other: first the models and terms, then implementation and operations, then securing the network, and finally troubleshooting, which carries the largest share of the exam at 24 percent.

01Networking concepts

The opening builds the model every later diagnosis leans on.

  • OSI layers, and the question of what happens at which level
  • Topologies, transmission media and network components
  • Addressing and subnets as the basis of any segmentation
  • Cloud connections and how they differ from your own data centre
02Network implementation

From the model to a running configuration, on concrete services.

  • Setting up routing and switching, and documenting it traceably
  • Planning, surveying and securing wireless networks
  • Name resolution and address assignment in live operation
  • Physical installation and the faults that originate there
03Network operations

What happens between go-live and outage, and is usually underestimated.

  • Monitoring load, availability and latency
  • Documentation, inventory and change processes
  • High availability, redundancy and recovery after failures
  • Remote access for administration and mobile work, set up securely
  • Capacity planning, before load turns into a problem
04Network security

The smallest exam domain, and still the one that gets expensive fastest.

  • Segmentation and access control at network level
  • Hardening devices and securing management access
  • Typical attacks on networks and how they are recognised
  • Physical security of the network infrastructure, which is often forgotten
05Network troubleshooting

The largest part of the exam, and the reason the models were built first.

  • A fixed procedure instead of suspicion: isolate, test, rule out
  • Command-line tools and what their output actually means
  • Typical fault patterns in cabling, wireless and configuration
  • Telling performance problems apart from real outages

Outcome

What you will be able to do afterwards

  1. 01

    You map network traffic to the OSI layers and name where a fault sits.

  2. 02

    You read and draw topologies from the data centre to the cloud connection.

  3. 03

    You plan addressing and subnets, and justify how you divided them.

  4. 04

    You configure routing, name resolution and wireless access to requirement.

  5. 05

    You secure network access through segmentation and access control.

  6. 06

    You monitor load and availability and spot deviations early.

  7. 07

    You isolate faults by a fixed procedure rather than by suspicion.

CompTIA Network+

CompTIA awards the certification once you pass the examination. It evidences that you can build and operate networks and isolate faults in them systematically. Unlike the certificates of many other schemes this certification expires three years after you pass; you keep it valid with 30 continuing education units, or renew it by earning a higher CompTIA certification.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

01Where do I sit the CompTIA Network+ examination?
Pearson VUE administers the examination, either at a test centre or online proctored from home. tecnovy prepares you for it and does not administer it.
02Can I sit the examination in German?
Yes. CompTIA offers Network+ in English, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. Alongside A+ it is the only CompTIA module at tecnovy with a German examination; Tech+, Security+ and CySA+ are English only.
03Do I need CompTIA A+ before Network+?
No. CompTIA recommends A+ and nine to twelve months of practice but requires neither; no CompTIA examination has formal admission conditions.
04How long is the CompTIA Network+ certification valid?
Three years from passing. You keep it valid with 30 continuing education units, or it renews automatically as soon as you earn a higher CompTIA certification such as Security+.
05What happens if I do not pass the examination?
CompTIA requires no waiting period between the first and second attempt; from the third attempt onwards there are 14 days between each. Every further attempt costs the examination fee again.
06What is the difference between Network+ and Security+?
Network+ covers building and operating networks, with security as one of five domains at 14 percent. CompTIA Security+ inverts that ratio and covers security across the whole IT landscape.
07What materials do I receive?
You receive the training materials for all five exam domains, plus a photo record of the flipcharts produced during the course, including the topologies you draw together.
