CompTIA A+

A+ certification, sponsored by CompTIA®, the Computing Technology Industry Association, is an internationally recognized validation of technical knowledge and customer Satisfaction skills required of a computer service technician. It has been compared to passing other professional certifications in that it serves as a credential for the general practice of one's profession with the opportunity to acquire additional specialization such as the Microsoft® MCSE track. A+ certification is the industry-wide standard for measuring benchmark level, vendor neutral technical skills. Industry studies indicate that obtaining certification will help a candidate to land their desired job because an employer would be confident that their general knowledge had been tested. The credibility associated with this certification is its greatest attribute. The certification consists of two modules with one exam per module. A combination of lecture and hands-on labs will help the candidates to achieve two goals. Goal one is to learn and retain the necessary information to pass both exams. Goal two is to use the labs to acquire practical hands-on experience so that you can enter into an interview and the workplace with confidence knowing you have put into practice what you have learned. In addition to the instructor-led classes, students are encouraged to practice their new skills in our open labs.
