Roadmap: Helpdesk to Networking and Security

If your goal is broad IT competence that can later branch into security, this is a common path.

Suggested stack

1. CompTIA:
   • A+ (from the CompTIA hub)
   • Network+ (from the CompTIA hub)
   • Security+ (from the CompTIA hub)

How to use this path

• Start with A+ if you are brand new to IT support; otherwise you can start at Network+.
• Do short drills until the vocabulary is easy, then add mixed sets and timed mocks.
• Treat Security+ as the capstone: it rewards pattern recognition and time management.
