** Get Ready to Crush Your CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) Exam **
Embark on (or continue) your IT certification journey with CompTIA’s Network+ certification. The Network+ certification acts as a “sampler platter” of networking, where you get to “taste test” a wide variety of technologies, like cloud, wireless, software defined networking, route/switch, security, troubleshooting, network management, and so many others.
Guiding you through each step of your journey is award-winning instructor and double CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) Kevin Wallace. With over 3 decades of IT experience, Kevin’s real-life “tales from the trenches” are sprinkled throughout this course, including his time as a network designer for Walt Disney World.
Animations, demonstrations, memory aids, and real-life stories all come together in this course to create the connective tissue you need to understand the interrelationships between all of the topics on the Network+ exam blueprint.
You’ll validate your learning with quiz questions after each course module and then challenge yourself with a comprehensive practice exam after completing the course.
What You’ll Get:
- 16.5 hours of instruction from Kevin Wallace, CCIEx2 #7945 covering every topic on CompTIA’s Network+ (N10-007) exam blueprint
