Why Network+ Certification is Essential for Employment

Shows Interest in the Field of Networking at Large

The Network+ certification procedure requires re-certification every three years. Those who took the test before December 31,2010 are certified for life. This change requires recent test takers to prove their knowledge and stay updated either by recertification or by participating in CompTIA’s continuing education program.

Why is Network+ a Pre-Requisite for Many Technical Positions?

The Importance of Network+ Certification

Network+ certification in particular is requested by many employers as a general test of skills. Specifically, government and military contracts tend to request Network+ certification above other types of certification. This is because Network+ certification is vendor neutral, which means that it applies to all types of systems. Cisco certification only applies to Cisco technology, and Microsoft certification is similar. A technician with Network+ certification will therefore have a more diverse set of knowledge and be able to work with varying systems. Because the government and military have very rigid standards, those without the required certifications may not be considered for hire.

CompTIA Network+ FAQs

Which Network+ exam do I take?

N10-009, released June 20, 2024. It is the current exam and the one every Total Seminars Network+ product is built for.

What is on the CompTIA Network+ exam?

Five domains: Networking Fundamentals 23%, Networking Implementation 20%, Network Operations 19%, Network Security 14%, and Network Troubleshooting 24%. Troubleshooting carries the heaviest weight of any single domain.

How long is the exam and what score do I need to pass?

You have 90 minutes to answer a maximum of 90 questions, a mix of multiple choice and performance-based. The passing score is 720 on a scale of 100 to 900.

Do I need A+ or experience before taking Network+?

Nothing is formally required to sit the exam. CompTIA recommends CompTIA A+ certification or equivalent knowledge, plus some hands-on networking experience. The exam assumes you already understand basic computer hardware and operating systems.

How much does the CompTIA Network+ exam cost?

Total Seminars sells the official CompTIA Network+ voucher for $356.99, about 11% below CompTIA’s $399 retail price. A bundle including the All-in-One e-book, TotalTester and a voucher with retake assurance is also available.

How long is my Network+ certification valid?

Three years from the date you pass. You renew by earning continuing education units through the CompTIA Continuing Education program. Anyone certified on or before December 31, 2010 is certified for life.

What jobs can I get with Network+?

Roles include network administrator, network technician, network installer, help desk technician and IT cable installer. Dell, HP, Ricoh, Xerox and Sharp recommend or require Network+ for networking technicians, and the Department of Defense, law enforcement and state and local government agencies treat it as a prerequisite for many technical positions.

Why do employers ask for Network+ rather than a Cisco or Microsoft certification?

Network+ is vendor-neutral, so it proves you can work across any manufacturer’s equipment. A Cisco certification proves you know Cisco; a Microsoft certification proves you know Microsoft. Government and military contracts in particular tend to specify Network+ for that reason.

What is the difference between TotalTester and TotalSims?

TotalTester is practice test questions — it tells you whether you are ready. TotalSims is interactive simulation practice built for the performance-based questions, where the exam drops you into a simulated environment and asks you to complete a task. Most candidates who fail are caught out by the performance-based questions, so we recommend both.

Can I study for Network+ entirely online?

Yes. Every Total Seminars Network+ product is delivered online through the Total Seminars Training Hub at hub.totalsem.com and works anywhere you have a high-speed internet connection.
