CompTIA Sponsored i-Net+™ Certification
The revised i-NET+ exam, is available on April 12th, 2002. The current exam has been retired as of May 31. 2002
The newest i-Net+ certification targets individuals interested in demonstrating the baseline of
technical knowledge that would allow them to pursue a variety of Internet-related careers. The i-Net+ exam was specifically designed to certify entry-level Internet and e-commerce technical
professionals responsible for participating in the maintenance of Internet, Intranet and Extranet infrastructure and services as well as the development of Web-related applications. Certification
not only helps individuals enter into the Internet industry, but also helps managers determine a prospective employee's knowledge and skill level.
The i-Net+ examination is a vendor-neutral, entry-level Internet certification that tests baseline
technical knowledge and skills of Internet, Intranet, and Extranet technologies independent of specific Internet related career roles. Learning objectives and domains examined include Internet
Basics and Clients, Development, Networking, Internet Security, and Business Concepts.
This exam targets individuals who want to demonstrate a knowledge and skills baseline that
enables them to pursue a variety of entry level Internet and e-commerce related careers such as
- Participating in the maintenance of Internet, intranet, and extranet infrastructure and services
- Participating in the development of Web related content and applications
In addition to technical careers, this exam may also be used by non-technical professionals that
are pursuing non-technical Internet related careers such as the marketing of Internet equipment or services, or using the Internet extensively in their day to day work; and that want to
demonstrate a baseline of Internet related technical skill and knowledge that will help them pursue their career.
This exam not only helps individuals enter the industry, but it also helps hiring managers
determine whether a prospective employee has the appropriate level of technical knowledge and skill. The skills and knowledge measured by this examination are derived from a worldwide job
task analysis which was validated through a survey of hundreds of i-Net+ certified professionals and their managers.
