that is geared toward technicians with 18 to 24 months
experience in the IT industry. Network+ Certification
is a non-vendor, non-product specific certification program
that validates your knowledge as a networking professional
and demonstrates a wide range of skills required in today's
network environments. The program was developed with the

distributors, resellers, and publications in the industry.
Network+ Certification covers two main areas of competency:
Networking Technology and Networking Practices. The
Network+ course offered at SuperTech is a five-day class

the Network+ Certification many times is the first step
in achieving a Windows 2000 MCSE or CNE Certification.

with 18 to 24 months experience who are searching for
a challenging career in the administration and support
of complex internetworking environments.
