CompTIA's Network+ is the premier vendor-neutral networking certification. Our Network+ Boot Camp is designed to provide the foundation you need not only to be productive on the job but also to be successful in more specialized topics and in your pursuit of vendor-specific certifications such as CCNA, MCSE, and CNE.

Earning CompTIA's Network+ certification increases your value in the marketplace, providing proof of your knowledge, skills, and ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot basic networking hardware, protocols, and services. Further, Network+ certification provides a straight path to more advanced certifications from top technology companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Novell, Compaq, Lotus, and 3COM. Our Network+ Boot Camp points you in the right direction, allowing you to demonstrate the concepts covered on the Network+ exam in a real-world, hands-on environment. You will practice for the exam by going through Self Test Software in class, and you will reinforce your knowledge and gain essential networking skills in labs that feature networking equipment from Cisco, SMC, Juniper, and others.
