Overview If you are getting ready for a career as an entry-level information technology (IT) professional or computer service technician, the CompTIA® A+® course is the first step in your preparation. The course will build on your existing user-level knowledge and experience with personal computer (PC) software and hardware to present fundamental skills and concepts that you will use on the job. In this course, you will acquire the essential skills and information you will need to install, configure, optimize, troubleshoot, repair, upgrade, and perform preventive maintenance on PCs, digital devices, and operating systems.

The CompTIA A+ course can benefit you in two ways. Whether you work or plan to work in a mobile or corporate environment where you have a high level of face-to-face customer interaction, where client communication and client training are important, or in an environment with limited customer interaction and an emphasis on hardware activities, this course provides the background knowledge and skills you will require to be a successful A+ technician. It can also assist you if you are preparing to take the CompTIA A+ certification examinations, 2016 objectives (exam numbers 220-901 and 220-902), in order to become a CompTIA A+ Certified Professional.

*** Note Regarding Exam Preparation The 5-day course focuses primarily on the 220-901 exam topics. While some of the 220-902 are included in the core class, we offer supplemental weekly (and some weekend) sessions to review additional 220-902 content. This way the main core topics can be covered in a 5-day format.

Certification Exam Vouchers Included (A $410 value!) All of our CompTIA classes include the cost of the CompTIA exam vouchers. With this class, vouchers for exams 220-901 and 220-902 are included–a $410 value. Students must schedule when they will take the exam.

Retaking an Exam Retake exams are at your own cost. A voucher is good for a single exam attempt. If you do not pass, you will need to purchase another voucher to retake that exam. PWC Training does not provide free “retake vouchers” with the course. Therefore, be sure to do the necessary preparation before scheduling your exam.

Exam Prep Software All of our CompTIA classes include access to web-based practice exams. CompTIA certification exams are very rigorous and challenging. By studying after the class and using these practice exams, you will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time. Exam prep software is included with all CompTIA classes delivered by PWC Training Centers.
