CompTIA Network+

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The CompTIA Network+ Certification Course is designed to provide learners with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in computer networking, network infrastructure, network implementation, network operations, network security, and troubleshooting. The programme covers essential networking concepts, including the OSI model, networking devices and appliances, cloud networking, ports and protocols, transmission media, network topologies, IPv4 addressing and subnetting, routing and switching technologies, VLANs, wireless networking, physical network installations, network documentation, configuration management, network monitoring, disaster recovery, and network services.

The course equips learners with the technical, analytical, troubleshooting, security, and operational competencies required to install, configure, maintain, monitor, secure, and troubleshoot computer networks and network infrastructure. It prepares learners for roles such as Network Support Technician, Network Administrator, IT Support Technician, Network Technician, Junior Network Engineer, and Infrastructure Support Technician across private companies, government institutions, financial organisations, NGOs, educational institutions, telecommunications organisations, and other technology-driven environments.

CERTIFICATION

Upon successful completion of the programme and the required CompTIA Network+ examination, learners can earn the CompTIA Network+ certification from CompTIA. This globally recognised networking certification demonstrates foundational and practical competence in networking concepts, network infrastructure, routing and switching, wireless technologies, network operations, network security, network services, network monitoring, and troubleshooting.

The certification prepares learners for professional opportunities in network support, network administration, IT support, network operations, infrastructure support, and related information technology fields. It also provides a strong foundation for further professional development in networking, cybersecurity, cloud computing, systems administration, and advanced IT infrastructure technologies.
