Network + Certification Training CD-ROM
 Online Classes A+, Network+ and MCSE
Master ANY Network!
 The complicated nature of today's computing environment
requires network technicians to be skilled on a variety of networking platforms. Businesses world-wide clamor for network technicians who can provide multivendor networking
solutions. CompTIA, the developers of the widely popular A+ Technician Certification, has developed the Network+ Certification program to test you on the multivendor
networking skills that high-paying companies desire. Network+ certification proves that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to install, manage and troubleshoot a
variety of networks on any platform. A Pre-Training must for Cisco CCNA Certification.
Proven Training Method!
The Network+ Self-Study Course includes in-depth text, explanatory graphics and hundreds
of test questions to prepare you for the actual Network+ exam. The course also includes hands on exercises that allow you to practive what you learn for further reinforcement. And
since the Network+ course is contained on CD-ROM, you can study whenever and wherever you want. Combined, these elements provide you with an effective, convenient and affordable alternatibve to classroom training.

The Network+ exam, tests for the same kind of basic competency and knowledge for
network technicians that A+ defines for PC technicians. Beyond its vendor neutrality, the Network + certification recognizes its holders' knowledge and understanding of networking
tools, technologies, hardware, and software. Given the population of participating vendors and organizations, this testing regimen covers these bases quite well.

The 2002 objectives update the Network+ certification exam on new technologies such as wireless networking and gigabit
Ethernet. The scope of networking systems are broadened somewhat placing an increased emphasis on Linux/Unix, Windows 9x,
Windows NT, Windows 2000 and including AppleTalk as a network protocol. There is also
more of an emphasis on hands-on
experience knowledge needed in the areas of network implementation and network support including troubleshooting scenarios.
Perfect for A+ Certified Professionals to expand their knowledge into networking as well as pre-training for MCSE or Cisco (CCNA) Certification.
