Why learn N10-009 with Ace Skills
Vendor-neutral foundation
Concepts apply across Cisco, Juniper, cloud and other platforms, making later certifications easier.
Real configuration practice
Configure VLANs, routing and wireless security in simulated networks rather than only reading about them.
Troubleshooting skill
Use command-line tools and packet captures to find faults methodically, as you will in a NOC.
Exam-ready practice
Subnetting drills, performance-based questions and a mock exam prepare you for exam day.
Course overview
Every application, cloud service and security control depends on a network that works. Network+ is the vendor-neutral standard for the people who build and support those networks, and it is a common requirement for network administrator, NOC and infrastructure support roles. This five-day course prepares you for the N10-009 exam while building skills you can use on the job straight away.
Day one covers networking concepts: the OSI model, ports and protocols, network topologies, cloud networking and IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, with plenty of subnetting practice. Day two moves to implementation, including switching, VLANs, routing, wireless and physical installation. Day three covers network operations: documentation, monitoring, high availability, disaster recovery and network services such as DHCP, DNS and NTP. Day four focuses on network security, from access control and hardening to common attacks and their mitigations. Day five is about troubleshooting cabling, connectivity and performance problems, followed by exam preparation.
Labs run in a simulated network environment. You will configure VLANs and inter-VLAN routing, set up wireless security, read packet captures, build monitoring alerts and fix a series of broken networks using a structured troubleshooting method. These exercises also prepare you for the exam's performance-based questions.
This course is aligned to the CompTIA Network+ N10-009 exam. Confirm the current objectives and voucher price on the CompTIA website before booking.

Your certificate
Certificate of Completion — Ace Skills Consulting
Awarded on completing the course. It records the course title and training hours, and you can share it on your LinkedIn profile.
The CompTIA certification itself is awarded by CompTIA when you pass exam N10-009.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need A+ before Network+?
No. CompTIA recommends A+-level knowledge, but the certification itself is not required.
Will I work on real equipment?
Labs use network simulation software, which lets every learner configure complete networks without hardware.
Is Network+ the same as CCNA?
No. Network+ is vendor-neutral and broader, while CCNA goes deeper into Cisco configuration. Many learners take Network+ first.
Is the exam voucher included?
Only when the batch shows the "Exam voucher included" badge. Otherwise you buy the voucher directly from CompTIA.
Do you offer weekend batches?
Yes. Weekend batches cover the same 40 hours across consecutive weekends.
