However it in school in a class called "Network Essentials" however, we didn't use a net+ exam book, we used Two Cisco books, Networking Basics, and IT essentials 2 network operating systems. Granted I might have to check out some actual net+ material so I can get what I may have missed, but am not sure, whats the difference between the two? Now current students are using Network+ A guide to networks as their material.
