The CompTIA Network+ certification is an internationally recognized credential designed for IT network practitioners. The N10-008 exam validates your technical abilities required to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot the vital networks that organisations rely on, in a secure manner. The new CompTIA Network+ exam includes network architecture , with a greater emphasis on software-defined networking to ensure that candidates understand network interconnections and cutting-edge technologies utilised in deployments. Emerging wireless standards and technologies are addressed so that enterprises can construct networks with maximum flexibility and security. Network performance monitoring and high availability are covered as separate objectives because constant access to both internal networks and SaaS apps boosts productivity. Network security has been simplified to focus on the most important parts of hardening networks against malicious attacks and executing network deployments securely to prevent unintentional data leaks.

In the event that you fail your first attempt at passing the Network+ examination, CompTIA's retake policies are:

  1. CompTIA does not require a waiting period between the first and second attempt to pass such examination. However, if you need a third or subsequent attempt to pass the examination, you shall be required to wait for a period of at least fourteen calendar days from the date of your last attempt before you can retake the exam.
  2. If a candidate has passed an exam, he/she cannot take it again without prior consent from CompTIA.
  3. A test result found to be in violation of the retake policy will not be processed, which will result in no credit awarded for the test taken. Repeat violators will be banned from participation in the CompTIA Certification Program.
  4. Candidates must pay the exam price each time they attempt the exam. CompTIA does not offer free re-tests or discounts on retakes.

CompTIA Network+ certification expires after three years from the date of issue, after which the certification holders will need to renew their certification via CompTIA's Continuing Education Program.
