CompTIA® A+ is a course that provides learners with the practical skills, knowledge and qualifications required to be considered competent in the building and configuration of PC systems, the installation of major proprietary operating systems and in troubleshooting and repair when failure occurs.
The certification is an international industry credential that validates your skills as a computer service technician demonstrating your technical competence and practical experience. Major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers accept CompTIA® A+ as the standard in foundation level, vendor neutral certification for service technicians.
The course assumes no previous knowledge and is aimed at individuals wishing to gain an entry-level qualification with a view to entering an IT career. The course is also suitable for individuals with basic experience and the pre-requisite skills, wishing to gain a formal PC technician qualification.
In addition, the CompTIA® A+ can become the first stage of your IT qualification route, giving you a head start with other qualifications such as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) accreditation.
Those undertaking the CompTIA® A+ training can consider any of the career pathways listed below, for example:
We at Seetec have designed this and all of our training programmes to furnish you not only with the technical knowledge required for successful certification, but to provide the ‘hands-on’ practical experience necessary to become a proficient in your chosen area of expertise. Our courses are designed and developed by qualified IT professionals and as such we can capitalise on ‘real’ industry experience to ensure you gain the most from your training programme.
Achieving the CompTIA® A+ certification involves passing two exams.
The first of these is CompTIA® A+ Essentials and is a mandatory step for anyone wishing to gain this accreditation. The Essentials exam validates the basic skills needed by any entry level service technician regardless of job environment.
The second exam is the CompTIA® A+ 220-602 which is targeted for individuals intending to work in a mobile or corporate technical environment.
Successful completion of both of these examinations will grant the learner CompTIA® A+ Certified status.
We provide a combination of Seetec authored and carefully selected study modules validated by our qualified tutors that cover all elements of the CompTIA® A+ programme.
