The CompTIA Network+ (2009 Edition) certification ensures that the successful candidate has the important knowledge and skills necessary to manage, maintain, troubleshoot, install, operate and configure basic network infrastructure, describe networking technologies, basic design principles, and adhere to wiring standards and use testing tools.
Security+, a CompTIA Certification is the primary course you will need to take if your job responsibilities include securing network services, network devices, and network traffic. It is also the main course you will take to prepare for the CompTIA Security+ examination (exam number SY0-201). In this course, you'll build on your knowledge and professional experience with computer hardware, operating systems, and networks as you acquire the specific skills required to implement basic security services on any type of computer network.
Network+ certification
The CompTIA Network+ (2009 Edition) certification is an internationally recognized validation of the
technical knowledge required of foundation-level IT network practitioners.
The CompTIA Network+ (2009 Edition) certification ensures that the successful candidate has the
important knowledge and skills necessary to manage, maintain, troubleshoot, install, operate and
configure basic network infrastructure, describe networking technologies, basic design principles,
and adhere to wiring standards and use testing tools.
The skills and knowledge measured by this examination were derived from an industry-wide job
task analysis and validated through an industry-wide global survey in Q2 2008. The results of this
survey were used in weighing the domains and ensuring that the weighting is representative of
the relative importance of the content.

Security+ certification
CompTIA Security+ validates knowledge of systems security, network infrastructure, access control, assessments and audits, cryptography and organizational security.
The CompTIA Security+ (2008 Edition) Certification is a vendor neutral credential. The Security+ exam is an internationally recognized validation of foundation-level security skills and knowledge, and is used by organizations and security professionals around the globe. The skills and knowledge measured by this course are derived from an industry-wide Job Task Analysis (JTA) and were validated through a global survey in Q4, 2007.
Security+ is the primary course you will need to take if your job responsibilities include securing network services, network devices, and network traffic. It is also the main course you will take to prepare for the CompTIA Security+ examination (exam number SY0-201). In this course, you'll build on your knowledge and professional experience with computer hardware, operating systems, and networks as you acquire the specific skills required to implement basic security services on any type of computer network.
The CompTIA Security+ course is 3.5 days including the certification exam.
Target Student: This course is targeted toward an Information Technology (IT) professional who has networking and administrative skills in Windows-based TCP/IP networks and familiarity with other operating systems and to those who want to further a career in IT by acquiring a foundational knowledge of security topics; prepare for the CompTIA Security+ Certification examination; or use Security+ as the foundation for advanced security certifications.
Prerequisites: CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications, or equivalent knowledge. Experience in networking, including experience configuring and managing TCP/IP is helpful.
