Network+ Certification
CompTIA Network+ Certification, Exam N10-005
Duration: Five days
Description: This course is designed to provide network technicians with the foundation-level skills they need to install, operate, manage, maintain, and troubleshoot a corporate network. This course will help prepare students for the CompTIA Network+ N10-005 certification exam. Remember that a course alone cannot prepare students for any CompTIA exam. It is important that students have the recommended work experience in IT networking prior to taking the exam. For the CompTIA Network+ N10-005 certification, CompTIA recommends students have CompTIA A+ certification, or equivalent experience, and 9 to 12 months of hands-on experience in IT networking.
