CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) TotalVideo + TotalSims + TotalTester Bundle

SAVE when you bundle — our BEST values!

Product Overview

Prepare for the CompTIA Network+ exam with all three products together: the Mike Meyers video series, TotalSims performance-based labs, and TotalTester practice questions. The video teaches, the simulations build hands-on skill, and the questions check whether it has stuck.

The N10-009 exam mixes multiple-choice questions with performance-based ones, and Troubleshooting alone accounts for nearly a quarter of it. Therefore this bundle covers every way the exam can test you. Get certified the best way, with TotalVideo, TotalSims, and TotalTester.

• Applies to the current CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam
• TotalVideo: 20+ hours of video training across 19 chapters and 145 lessons
• TotalSims interactive simulations: 154 performance-based simulation elements across 93 lab topics
• TotalTester practice tests: 1,000+ multiple-choice questions
• 10 simulations are free to try on the Training Hub before you buy
• License: single-user one-year license for TotalVideo, TotalSims, and TotalTester
• Operating system requirement: TotalSims and TotalTester need Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux (iOS and Android not supported)

Certification Alignment

All three components in this bundle map to the five official CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam domains. The exam breaks down as follows.

• Networking Fundamentals (23%) — core protocols, network devices, cabling, addressing, and common topologies
• Network Implementations (20%) — configuring and deploying switching, routing, and wireless solutions
• Network Operations (19%) — monitoring, availability, documentation, and performance management
• Network Security (14%) — common threats, security controls, authentication, and access management
• Network Troubleshooting (24%) — identifying, isolating, and resolving network issues using a structured methodology

Troubleshooting is the single heaviest domain, and it is the hardest to learn from reading alone. So the simulations target exactly where the marks are.

Career Impact

Network+ is the standard credential for hands-on networking work. It also builds the foundation that most security and cloud roles assume you already have.

• Prepares you for roles such as Network Administrator, Network Technician, and NOC Technician
• Also fits help desk technicians moving into networking and Systems Administrators
• Meets the U.S. Department of Defense 8140/8570 baseline requirement for many government and defense jobs
• Leads naturally to CompTIA Security+, Cloud+, and CySA+

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this bundle, you can do the following.

• Explain networking models, number systems, and how core protocols map to the OSI layers.
• Calculate and implement IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, including subnetting.
• Configure switches, routers, and VLANs to build reliable network topologies.
• Deploy and manage DNS, DHCP, and other core TCP/IP services.
• Install and troubleshoot physical cabling, Ethernet networks, and wireless networks.
• Apply virtualization, cloud computing, and datacenter concepts to network design.
• Answer both multiple-choice and performance-based questions under exam conditions.

Prerequisites

You need no prior certification to start. CompTIA recommends A+ certification, or equivalent knowledge, plus around nine months of networking experience. Neither one is a formal requirement.

This bundle suits help desk and desktop support professionals moving into networking roles, as well as career changers building foundational networking skills. TotalSims and TotalTester need a Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux computer, because iOS and Android are not supported.

TotalVideo Features

Mike Meyers, the Alpha Geek, teams up with networking expert Joe Ramm to cover the N10-009 exam topics in more than 20 hours of comprehensive video training.

Total Seminars filmed the course in an episodic format designed to optimize your learning experience. Substantive technical content sits alongside laugh-out-loud segments, so a long study block never drags. With 15 years of classroom experience, Joe brings an enthusiasm for technology that is genuinely contagious.

TotalSims Features

TotalSims for CompTIA Network+ includes 154 simulation elements, presented through four learning tools. Together they prepare you for CompTIA’s performance-based exam questions.

• Show! — operating system and application training demonstrations
• Click! — interactive graphical exercises
• Type! — interactive command-line exercises
• Challenge! — interactive configuration and identification exercises that mimic performance-based exam questions
