CompTIA Network+ is intended for entry-level computer support professionals with a basic knowledge of computer hardware, software, and operating systems who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and acquire the required skills to prepare for a career in network support or administration. In particular, the following individuals will benefit from this course:

• IT personnel who need a solid foundation in networking
• Managers and supervisors who must oversee network-related activities
• Individuals interested in pursuing the CompTIA Network+ certification exam

To get the most out of CompTIA Network+ and be able to prepare for your exam, you should ideally have successfully completed the “CompTIA A+ Support Skills” course, earned the CompTIA A+ certification, and have about 9-12 months of experience of networking support or IT administration. It is not necessary that you pass the A+ exams before completing Network+ certification, but it is recommended.

Regardless of whether you have passed A+, it is recommended that you have the following skills and knowledge before starting this course:

• Configure and support PC, laptop, mobile (smartphone / tablet), and print devices.
• Know basic network terminology and functions (such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, switches, routers).
• Configure and manage users, groups, and shared resources in a simple SOHO network.
• Understand the use of basic access control measures, such as authentication, security policy, encryption, and firewalls.
• Understand TCP/IP addressing, core protocols and troubleshooting tools.
