The Ideal Network+ CandidateThe following list describes some relevant statistics about the background and experience an ideal individual might have. Don't worry if you don't meet these qualifications or don't come that closethis is a far from ideal world, and where you fall short is simply where you'll have more work to do.
If you were to review all the criteria that go into making an ideal Network+ candidate, you will find that it boils down to practical experience in a technical position involving installation, configuration, and maintenance of networks. We believe that well under half of all certification candidates meet these requirements, and that, in fact, most meet fewer than half of these requirementsat least, when they begin the certification process. But because others who already have been certified have survived this ordeal, you can survive it tooespecially if you heed what our self-assessment can tell you about what you already know and what you need to learn. |
