What is Network+?

CompTIA Network+ is a certification that validates the essential knowledge and skills needed to confidently design, configure, manage, and troubleshoot wired and wireless networks. It is a vendor-neutral certification, meaning it covers a broad range of networking technologies and concepts, rather than being specific to a particular vendor's products. Network+ is commonly used as a foundational certification for individuals pursuing careers in IT networking, such as network administrators, network technicians, and network engineers.
