CompTIA Network+ 2009 Certification Information
The CompTIA Network+ certification has been around for a decade and is used to measure the knowledge and skills of entry level networking technicians. The newest revision of the cert is the Network+ 2009, which was released earlier this year.
Covering topics like network hardware, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting, the Network+ is a widely recognized certification partly because it is vendor neutral and recognized around the world.
The Network+ validates the knowledge and skills of networking professionals and demonstrates competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructures.
The Network+ cert is also considered a steppingstone to more advanced, vendor specific certifications including Microsoft, Novell, Cisco and HP who recognize Network+ as part of their certification tracks.
CompTIA Network+ 2009
An updated version of the CompTIA Network+ certification was launched in early 2009 and you can obtain it by passing the N10-004 Network+ 2009 exam.
Although the Network+ is an entry level cert, CompTIA recommends that candidates complete the A+ certification and have at least 9 months of experience performing networking tasks before taking the exam.
However, these are not requirements and in order to obtain the Network+ 2009 certification you only need to pass a single exam.
The Network+ exam is 90 minutes long, has a total of 100 questions and you need a passing score of 720 on a scale of 100-900.
To learn about what’s covered in the new Network+ 2009 exam you can download the new exam objectives.
As with any CompTIA exams, the Network+ is available through Prometric and Pearson Vue testing centers, although currently the exams are only available in English, Spanish and German.
CompTIA Network+ 2009 Bridge Exam
If you have previously obtained the Network+ cert and want to update it to the new version, you have the option of taking the bridge exam which covers only the new objectives.
The bridge exam (code BR0-002) is a bit shorter, at only 60 minutes and has only 50 questions. The passing score for the bridge exam is 500 on a scale of 100-900.
So if you passed the previous Network+ certification exam, the bridge exam is the way to go. Keep in mind though, that only those who passed the Network+ 2005 exam are eligible for the bridge exam.
Network+ Certification: A Good Start to a Successful Networking Career
Earning the Network+ certification not only proves you have the right networking skills and knowledge, but also the commitment and dedication to your career in IT.
As I mentioned above, a useful thing to keep in mind about both the CompTIA’s A+ and Network+ certifications is that they can be used as an elective for some vendor specific certifications. So if you’re considering more specialized certifications, the A+ and Network+ certifications might be a good place to start.
