About This Course

The CompTIA A+ certification validates the latest skills needed by today's computer support professionals. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification recognized by major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers. The A+ certification confirms a technician's ability to perform essential tasks such as installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking. Likewise, the Network+ certification validates the knowledge and skills of networking professionals. CompTIA Security+ validates knowledge of systems security, network infrastructure, access control, assessments and audits, cryptography and organizational security.

This primary goal of this course is to help each student pass the exams required to earn the A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. To do this, your knowledgable instructor will blend hands-on labs with lecture and practice exams to prepare you to pass each exam. The practice exams identify knowledge gaps that the instructor will fill with customized, hands-on labs and tailored lectures. Our on-site testing center allows you to take the exam when you're ready,
