CompTIA Linux+ Certification  

Network+ Training Course To interact with one another, computers communicate through networks. The CompTIA Network+ course builds on the foundational knowledge learned in A+ of how computers work on their own and teaches you how computers work together to share information/resources. For those seeking out jobs in entry-level IT roles, Network+ is a beneficial certification that proves you understand exactly what a network is, how networks are built, how they actually function, and how they are kept secure. Jobs such as Network Support Technicians or Network Installation require the knowledge and experience provided through the Network+ training course. Certification Information To obtain the Network+ certification, you must pass a 90 minute exam with a minimum score of 720 (on a scale of 100-900). Your certification expires three years from the date you earn it and must be renewed before that expiration date. You will be tested on networking concepts, infrastructure, network operations, network security and network troubleshooting and tools. Knowledge/Experience There are no work experience requirements for this exam. However, CompTIA recommends 9 to 12 months of networking experience.

CompTIA Security+ Training Course The CompTIA Security+ course is fundamental for a security-based IT career. Information security is necessary for protecting computer data, assets, and networks from malicious threats. Being able to identify issues and offer recommendations for solutions in security is a key ability needed by those seeking out IT roles specializing in cybersecurity. Outside of simply identifying problems, being able to architect and design mechanisms for cybersecurity is also a highly in-demand skill set. All of this is learned in the training provided in the Security+ course. In this course, students learn how to install and configure systems to secure applications, networks, and devices; perform threat analysis and respond with appropriate mitigation techniques; participate in risk mitigation activities; and operate with an awareness of applicable policies, laws, and regulations. Completion of this course certifies that you are knowledgeable and experienced in information security. It establishes the core knowledge necessary for a wide variety of cyber security roles. Certification Information Security+ certification is dependent upon your ability to pass a 90 minute exam with a minimum score of 750 (on a scale of 100-900). Your certification expires three years from the date you earn it and must be renewed before the expiration date in order to stay valid. Knowledge/Experience No prerequisites are required, but it is highly recommended that those interested take CompTIA A+ and Network+ before this course.
