CompTIA's i-Net+ certification is meant for “entry-level Internet and e-commerce technical professionals.” The i-Net+, exam code IK0–002, was introduced in April 2000 and then updated in April 2002. It is a vendor-neutral certification that is worth achieving on route to more advanced Internet-related certifications. In fact, you may use your i-Net+ certification to become a CIW Associate, rather than taking the CIW Foundations exam. There are no prerequisites for this certification.

This certification is well suited to IT professionals who want to become an Internet e-Commerce specialist, an Internet networking specialist, an Internet security specialist, an Internet site designer, or an Internet systems administrator. The i-Net+ designation is achieved by passing one conventional format exam that covers, and demonstrates your knowledge of, Internet basics and clients, development, networking, Internet security and business concepts. Like other CompTIA offerings, once a person achieves the i-Net+, the certification will not expire.
