CompTIA launches new Network+ certification exam

The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) launched its new Network+ certification exam on May 1st.

"The new exam reflects today’s reality that network administrators are coping with rapidly changing technologies in networks, handheld devices and application development," said Neill Hopkins, vice president, skills development, CompTIA.

"The explosion of wireless within the enterprise has allowed organisations to become more creative with mobile computing. We’ve also seen a surge in demand for 10-gigabit networking from corporations, research labs and governments."

The new CompTIA Network+ exam has 85 questions, which must be completed in 90 minutes. Candidates must achieve a score of at least 554, graded on a scale of 100 – 900 to earn the certificate.

The outgoing CompTIA Network+ exam (N10-002), which is based on objectives published in 2001, will remain live until June 30, 2005. After that date, only the new exam (N10-003) will be available.
