CompTIA certification courses - A+
(Course Number CLA01JMC)
The A+ Certification Course is suited for computer users who have basic knowledge and experience with PCs and are
looking to upgrade their skills in order to successfully perform as an
entry-level computer service technician. The A+ course offered at HAL-PC is
a 10-day class that prepares students to take the two A+ exams: Core
Hardware (220-201) and OS Technologies (220-202).
A+ Certification is a CompTIA-sponsored testing program that certifies
the competency of entry-level (6 months experience) computer service
technicians. The A+® exams contain situational and identification types
of questions. All of the questions are multiple choice. There is either
one answer for each question, or the question identifies how many
answers you should select. The test covers a broad range of hardware and
software technologies, but is not bound to any vendor-specific products.
The program is backed by major computer hardware and software vendors,
distributors, resellers and publications. A+ certification signifies
that the certified individual possesses the knowledge and skills
essential for a successful entry-level (6 months experience) computer
service technician, as defined by experts from companies across the
industry.
The test is divided in to 2 parts - Core and OS
