A+ Certification Course

This course introduces the hardware and operating system concepts of a personal computer and the broad range of hardware and software technologies. Provides preparation for students seeking A+ Certification sponsored by the Computing Technology Industry Association and certifies the competency of entry-level service technicians in the computer industry.

This course offers a unique approach to computer information technologies.  Rather than teach a specific application or language, we will learn how to purchase, install and maintain computers in our homes and offices.  Within the lab sections, you will have the opportunity to use several different hardware components to install and configure.  This course offers a limited amount of hands on training that will prepare you to teach this course.  CompTIA has created the A+ Certification which is a vendor neutral certification that validates the basic PC technology skills.  This certification is used by potential employers to see if an applicant is qualified to be a PC Technologist.  This course will cover the A+ certification material as well as “lots of stuff” I've found you need to know, but isn’t on a test.
