Skills Train IT Home Study - N+ Computer Engineer Course

The SkillsTrain CompTIA N+ Course

Syllabus

SkillsTrain’s comprehensive CompTIA N+ course is designed to give you full competence in installing, configuring and troubleshooting networking hardware, peripherals and protocols.

It is the perfect partner to the A+ course, SkillsTrain’s entry-level course in PC competence, which gives full instruction in a wide range of PC and peripheral skills, though students who have existing knowledge of PCs can graduate straight to the N+ course.

At every step of the way, your personal tutor will guide you through the steps necessary to achieve the regular assignments and progress onto the next stage, while you work at your own pace and in your own time.
