CompTIA Network+ (Exam: N10-009)
The CompTIA Network+ course provides a solid and comprehensive foundation in networking, preparing the student to install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot both wired and wireless network infrastructures.
It is a globally recognized, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental skills needed to work in technical support, network operations, data center, and systems administration roles.
The course combines up-to-date theoretical content with practical laboratories that simulate real-world scenarios, allowing participants to directly apply the knowledge they have acquired.
Upon completion, the student will be prepared to confidently face the official CompTIA Network+ exam (N10-009), focused on modern networks, cloud, virtualization, security and troubleshooting.
🧪 This course includes official practical laboratories
