This entry-level program is designed to prepare students for the CompTIA A+ Certification with IT Technician designation. This credential validates the latest skills needed by today’s Computer Support Professionals and is the skills benchmark that provides an entry point into an IT career. It is highly recognized for excellence in computer hardware and operating systems covering skills such as installing, upgrading, building, repairing, configuring, troubleshooting, optimizing, diagnosing, and preventative maintenance, with additional elements of professionalism and communication and security.
This program is comprised of two modules. The CompTIA A+ Certification: Essentials module provides students with the knowledge of basic hardware, operating systems, and elements of security and soft skills.
The CompTIA A+ Certification: IT Technician module is appropriate for those who work, or plan to work, in a mobile or corporate technical environment, or hold a position characterized by a high-level of in-person client interaction.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student should be prepared to take CompTIA A+ Certification: Essentials (Exam 220-601) and CompTIA A+ Certification: IT Technician (Exam 220-602).
In order to complete the optional hands-on exercises/labs you will need an additional computer. The requirements for the extra computer/s are minimal and can be found in PC Requirements/Materials Included link on the left side of your screen.
The original course length is 6 months. If you need more time, you will receive a 4-month extension at no charge. If you require another extension beyond the free 4-month extension, we will give you a 6-month extension at a charge of $75.00 U.S. (licensing fee) to Gatlin. These extensions will be consecutive (one after the other), so if you step away from the course and come back wanting to resume you may do so after paying a licensing fee. This fee may change from one year to the next. Please do not request an extension until you have almost run out of time (determined by end date). This way you may step away from the course for awhile if needed, and upon returning you may catch up, use the free extension, or pay for an additional license in order to complete the course.
