Why Network+ certification matters

Networks are what support our entire "information highway" i.e. the Internet. There is not one piece of information or transaction made on your smartphone, tablet, or computer that does not flow over some part of a network. Knowing that there currently a skills gap in IT and network support because the supply of qualified candidates falls short of the available job openings (source: CompTIA Jun 26, 2017 "Organizations struggle to close widening skills gap").

The Network+ exam is itself credentialled: Certified by ISO and approved by DoD

CompTIA has submitted the Security+ exam (like all its exams) to review by the ISO for the ISO 17024 standard which has approved its processes for that exam. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense has approved the exam to fulfill its Directive 8570.01-M skills requirements. Finally, Security+ SY0-501 is compliant, under the Federal Information Security Management Act – FISMA, with government regulations.

Network+ is developed through CompTIA by and for the industry

Network+, just like all other CompTIA certifications, is developed and maintained by leading IT experts working in the industry and volunteering for CompTIA. The exam objectives and skills tested on the exams stem from a combination of industry-wide surveys (performed by CompTIA) and contributions from a team of subject matter experts.

Special note on Network+ N10-007

Being a "medium" exam in CompTIA's exam hierarchy succeeding at this exam will automatically renew lower level certifications. This means that if you have a current A+ credential then it will renew automatically for three years from the date you pass the Network+ exam. The "higher" exam would be Security+ which would alleviate your need to retake A+ and/or Network+.
