How much does CompTIA Network+ cost in Australia?
With Logitrain, CompTIA Network+ starts from $1,699, and that includes the official N10-009 exam fee. Many providers charge for the exam separately, so it is worth comparing the total cost rather than the course price alone.

Is the exam fee included?
Yes. The price includes the official CompTIA Network+ N10-009 exam, which you can sit within three months of finishing the course at our Pearson VUE test centre, another VUE centre, or online.

How long is the CompTIA Network+ course?
The instructor-led course runs over five days full time, or five weeks part time, with extra self-study recommended before the exam.

What are the prerequisites for CompTIA Network+?
There are no hard prerequisites. CompTIA recommends CompTIA A+ and around nine to twelve months of networking experience, although neither is required to attend.

Which Network+ exam version will I sit?
The current version is N10-009, which is what our course prepares you for. It covers networking concepts, implementation, operations, security and troubleshooting.

Can I do CompTIA Network+ online?
Yes. You can attend in the classroom in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, or join the same instructor-led course live online from anywhere in Australia.

Should I do Network+ or Security+ first?
Network+ usually comes first, because it builds the networking foundation that Security+ assumes. Many people do Network+, then Security+, then move toward a cyber security or networking role.
