CompTIA To Update Network+


4/19/2001 -- The Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) recently announced plans to upgrade its Network+ certification exam. Certification Program Manager Tancy Stanbery characterized the update as a "minor revision." She told CertCities,"We anticipate no more than a 15 percent change to the exam objectives."

A preliminary blueprint of the new objectives have been posted on the CompTIA Web site (click here). According to Stanbery, the final objectives will be released in June, followed by a beta period in late summer, with final launch of the linear version of the new exam in October. An adaptive version is scheduled to go live in early 2002.

Network+ is a vendor-neutral title designed to certify the skills of networking professionals with 18 to 24 months of experience. For more information on Network+ and other CompTIA certifications, click here.  -B.N.

4/20/01: Leung says: if i take the Network+ exam next month and pass this exam, will Comptia expire my certification next year ???
4/20/01: Becky says: Hi Leung -- CompTIA certifications NEVER expire --you're certified for life :-)
5/1/01: Anonymous says: Will you need different books to study from? Are the requirements changing that much. (A+ is taking a long time to get the newest books out for studing.) Most bookstores are still selling the old books for the A+, will this happen to N+ also?
5/1/01: Becky says: Anonymous -- it's supposed to be only a 15% change, so it's not as significant as the A+ revamp. When are you planning on taking Net+? If it's anytime before the end of this year, I think you'd be fine.
5/3/01: Steve says: The Network+ qualification is practically worthless anyway. Admittedly I am not new to networking but even so I took the test last September and only got one question wrong (due to a badly worded question). If you are looking for certification to reinforce your knowledge of network technologies, Network+ is NOT for you.
5/29/01: Richard says: I am taking this exam within weeks but I am worried of the fact that I have to get 82%?? I think that is little too high for passing score don't you think?.. are questions that easy?
5/30/01: Mikey says: I am considering purchasing Network+ studying materials such as CBT CD's and books. But should I wait for up-to-date information or just go ahead and purchase these materials. Some of these CBT CD's are a pretty expensive. I don't want to prepare for four months or whatever with old info, when the new test will be in three months or sooner.
6/7/01: Bman says: I wouldn't say the N+ certification is worthless, but it is not well known. When you talk to others (like your boss or in describing it in an interview) be sure to tell a little about the certification and to what level it tests your skills.
6/12/01: Anonymous says: The Network+ is definitly not a worthless exam. Just the fact that it's by CompTIA and they don't make you take the test every year and pay a $50-$400 fee is a blessing in itself. And it's good for new networkers who are looking to certify there skills.
6/20/01: Bashir Mattur says: I want study A+ and i want your help could u help me. i want to know last exam question paper is this possible
