This 120-hour A+ course uses the official CompTIA curriculum and is taught by experienced & certified professionals. A+ Certification is a CompTIA program that certifies the competency of entry-level computer service technicians. A+ Certification course prepares for two exams:  220-1001 Essentials (hardware) & 220-1002 Practical Applications (software) exams. Must pass both exams to be A+ Certified. Experts from companies across the IT industry note that A+ certification confirms your knowledge and skills for success in entry-level computer service and support positions. Tasks of these positions include identifying, troubleshooting and repairing computer and printer problems caused by operating systems or hardware issues. Learners are expected to study SIGNIFICANT additional hours outside of classroom training & exam prep time in order to be successful on certification exam.
