Description
This course series is intended to test skills required of a network technician, who needs to know more than an A+ industry novice but is not yet a MCSE/CNE network expert. This program is designed to provide knowledge of networking for technicians with nine months of field experience in network administration and support.

The course provides students with the knowledge of media and topologies, protocols and standards, network implementation and network support, and will prepare students to pass the 2005 CompTIA Network+ certification exam. COURSES: 16381 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Introducing Network Technologies 16382 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: OSI Model and Protocols 16383 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Network Operating Systems 16384 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: WAN Technologies and Services 16385 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Network Security 16386 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Fault Tolerance 16387 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Backup and Restore 16388 – CompTIA Network+ 2005: Troubleshooting Network Problems

Skills Taught
After completing this course, the student should be able to:

  • Demonstrate understanding of network fundamentals
Audience
The Network+ course is designed for computer technicians who desire more challenging careers in the administration and support of internetworking environments and need additional knowledge of basic networking concepts and principles. It is also appropriate for entry-level technology support staff with some experience in network administration.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course. CompTIA A+ certification can benefit candidates entering the CompTIA Network+ curriculum, but this is not a requirement.
