The CompTIA Network+ certification is the globally recognized credential for IT professionals who want to master the fundamentals of networking. Unlike certifications that focus narrowly on one vendor or technology, Network+ provides vendor-neutral knowledge across wired and wireless networks, making it the perfect foundation for careers in IT infrastructure, systems administration, and cybersecurity.
Our accelerated 5-day bootcamp is designed to take students from classroom to certification quickly. You’ll gain hands-on experience in building, managing, and troubleshooting networks through real-world lab simulations while preparing to pass the Network+ certification exam with confidence.
All bootcamp programs include unlimited certification exam attempts. Students may retake their certification exam as many times as necessary until they achieve a passing score, providing confidence and reducing test anxiety.
This bootcamp is recommended for:
IT professionals with 9-12 months of hands-on experience or CompTIA A+ certification.
Junior network administrators, network support specialists, or technical support staff ready to expand into networking.
Students who want to master networking fundamentals as a foundation for cybersecurity or advanced IT roles.
If you’re comfortable with basic IT concepts and eager to specialize in networking, Network+ is the next step.
Our bootcamp programs follow an accelerated 5-day format with live online instruction. Students participate in daily sessions Monday through Friday, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical experience. This immersive approach is ideal for individuals looking to quickly build in-demand skills and prepare for certification, while still benefiting from the high-quality instruction and support our institution is known for.
Bootcamps are 9 hours long each day with a 1-hour break, the hours are 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM PT / 12:30 PM - 9:30 PM ET.
