    Description
    CompTIA’s A+ certification is the industry standard for validating the foundational skills needed by today’s computer service technicians. This course prepares students for the certification exam by helping them gain the necessary knowledge of basic computer hardware, operating systems, and networking. Hands-on practice using the latest computer components and operating systems will also provide an opportunity for students to enhance their skills in assembling, disassembling, servicing, troubleshooting, and upgrading computer and networking systems. Students also learn the elements of customer service and communication skills necessary to work with clients. Moreover, practice exams and quizzes are given to reinforce course concepts and exam readiness. Students may be awarded 5 high school elective credits if they complete and pass all course assignments and requirements.
