❓ FAQ

Common Questions

Network+ or CCNA — which should I get? +
If you want to work at a Cisco shop or as a dedicated network engineer, get CCNA. If you want vendor-neutral networking knowledge for general IT or as a stepping stone to Security+, get Network+. Both are valid — they just serve different career paths.
What is the passing score for Network+? +
720 out of 900 points. The exam has a maximum of 90 questions and runs 90 minutes.
Does Network+ expire? +
Yes — CompTIA certifications are valid for 3 years. You can renew through continuing education units (CEUs) or by passing a higher-level exam like Security+ or CySA+.
Is Network+ worth it in 2025? +
Yes, particularly for IT generalists and those heading toward Security+. For dedicated networking roles, CCNA carries more weight with employers. For everything else, Network+ is a solid, recognized credential.
How long does Network+ preparation take? +
2–3 months for most students. Troubleshooting (21%) and Networking Concepts (23%) are the heaviest domains — our modules cover these in depth.
Can I skip Network+ and go straight to Security+? +
Yes. Security+ has no official prerequisites. However, Security+ SY0-701 assumes networking knowledge. Without it, the Security Architecture and Security Operations domains will be significantly harder.
