Technical Training

Network+ Bootcamp - 3 Days, Instructor-Led	$1,195
Information and Course Curriulum

The Network+ ComTIA certification is an internationally recognized industry credential that validates the knowledge of networking professionals with at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or adequate academic training. Marketbridge instruction guarantees that students learn the basics of internetworking, and understand media, topologies, protocols and to properly administer and support a network.

Course Prerequisites

A typical candidate would have CompTIA A+ certification or equivalent knowledge, but this is not a prerequisite. An accepted foundation-level, vendor-neutral certification for networking professionals, many IT certifications integrate CompTIA Network+ into their curriculums. Earning a CompTIA Network+ certification demonstrates that a candidate can describe the features and functions of networking components, and possesses the knowledge and skills needed to install, configure and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols and services. The exam tests technical ability in the areas of media and topologies, protocols and standards, network implementation, and network support. The exam also covers new technologies such as wireless networking and gigabit Ethernet.
