The A+ Network+ Certification is a program that gives professionals with an interest in Information Technology a chance to learn the basics of networking and expand their knowledge of operating systems.  Over the years companies have come to appreciate the benefits that come with employing individuals that have earned their A+ Network+ certificates with a combination of coursework and hands on training.  The demand for employees with A+ Network+ Certification has led to a ground breaking number of over 50,000 individuals becoming certified in 2008.

The certification helps employees show potential employers that they are serious about working in the IT industry.  Maintaining a certification means that employees have stayed up to date on the latest technology making them eligible for employment with the 25% of IT companies that require A+ Network+ Certification for any computer related job.  With the recent surge in networking certifications many companies have decided to require all of their network staff to become certified.  When this goes into affect over one third of the IT jobs in the United States will require A+ Network+ Certification.
