Networking remains a foundational IT discipline, and increasingly, network professionals are expected to understand security alongside connectivity. This certification combines both, validating that a candidate can build, operate, and secure network infrastructure rather than treating networking and security as separate skill sets.
The Certified Associate Network Administrator Plus validates foundational networking skill combined with core network security practices, covering network design, protocols, troubleshooting, and the security controls needed to protect network infrastructure.
60 scenario-based questions covering networking fundamentals and security. 90 minutes, 70% passing score, online proctored.
IT professionals starting a networking career, or support staff looking to specialise in network operations.

Common roles include Network Administrator, Network Support Technician, and Junior Network Security Analyst.
The Certified Associate Network Administrator Plus validates foundational networking skill combined with core network security practices, covering network design, protocols, troubleshooting, and the security controls needed to protect network infrastructure.
Systems and networking remain foundational disciplines that underpin every other area of IT. Despite the rise of cloud computing, organisations still rely heavily on skilled professionals who understand server administration, network design, and Linux systems to keep infrastructure reliable, secure, and performant.

This certification serves as a strong entry point into Systems & Networking.
