Overview/Description
The CompTIA Network+ 2005 certification is designed to validate those with knowledge of protocols, networking devices, troubleshooting issues, and network oriented operating system configuration. A second benefit of the CompTIA Network+ curriculum is its ability to provide candidates pursuing knowledge in network fields such as Microsoft, Cisco, Unix and Novell with a background and a level of knowledge that is a prerequisite for some fields. Network+ certified individuals may enter vendor specific training with confidence that they have the level of knowledge expected for those pursuing other vendor-specific certifications.

Target Audience
This course is designed for individuals who need exposure to the many networking issues and technologies in modern networks.

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.
