About This Course

Launch into your IT career with CompTIA's popular A+ certifications. This is one of our most demanded courses. Hands-on training teaches you to build, troubleshoot, and repair computers.

The CompTIA A+ certification is the industry standard for computer support technicians. The international, vendor-neutral certification proves competence in areas such as installation, preventative maintenance, networking, security and troubleshooting.

Because many businesses continue to use old, legacy systems built upon outdated hardware, our A+ instructors have built a collection of old system components for you to examine and use. This is valuable becuase you not only gain experience with today's current technologies, but you also will be experienced with yesterday's technologies as well.

Earning your CompTIA A+ certification opens doors to many career possibilities. With an A+ certification, you may go on to become a systems administrator, systems engineer, or more. CompTIA A+ is part of the certification track for corporations such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Novell. Other technology companies, including CompuCom and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification mandatory for their service technicians. More than 700,000 people worldwide have become CompTIA A+ certified since the program’s inception in 1993.
