Course Introduction
This course prepares students for the CompTIA A+ Certification exam. Whether you intend to take the certification exam, or simply explore the area of personal computers in more depth, you will acquire an overview of topics related to the personal computer that will then help you decide what part of the industry you might like to pursue as a profession. This certification is also a prerequisite to more advanced certifications. Major topical areas include PC components; basic networking; operating systems installation, configuration, and troubleshooting; virtualization; and operational procedures.
This is the first of a two-course series and is designed to prepare you to take and pass the CompTIA A+ 2022 Core 1 (220-1101) exam & Core 2 (220-1102) exam. It's an internationally-recognized:
Part 1: CompTIA A+ Certification (220-1101).
Part 2: CompTIA A+ Certification (220-1102).
To become fully A+ certified you will need to pass both the 220-1101 and 220-1102 exams.
There are no specific prerequisites as the course covers all the topics in detail.
A basic familiarity with computers and networks is helpful.
