    Description
    CompTIA certifications help students build a solid foundation of essential knowledge and skills that will help them earn employment in technology-related careers. The CompTIA A+ certification assures employers that their applicant is prepared to enter the workforce as an entry-level computer support technician. Computer support technicians provide technical assistance to computer users. They may answer questions or resolve computer problems for clients in person, or via telephone or electronically. They may provide assistance concerning the use of computer hardware and software, including printing, installation, word processing, electronic mail, and operating systems. Completion of this course prepares students for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) and Core 2 (220-1002) industry certification exams.
