CompTIA Network+

CompTIA Network+ is a vendor-neutral certification covering foundational networking concepts and skills, including network connectivity, services, operations, security, and troubleshooting.

Build I.T. projects are not intended to replace dedicated certification study. Instead, many of our projects provide hands-on experience with technologies and concepts that also appear in Network+.
