Course Description

Course Description

In this CompTIA A+ online course, we prepare learners to take the 220-1001 and 220-1002 exams, which are the two exams required to earn the CompTIA A+ certification.

CompTIA is a globally recognised provider of top quality IT certifications that help to train and identify knowledgeable IT professionals.

The CompTIA A+ certification is held by over 1 million IT professionals worldwide. It is the most essential IT certification for anyone looking to build a successful IT career. If you’re new to the IT industry, the CompTIA A+ will help you to kick-start your career. And if you’re already an IT professional, the A+ validates your skills and can boost your career.

On this CompTIA A+ online course you’ll learn how to maintain PC’s, mobile devices, operating systems, and printers. The course establishes the best practices in troubleshooting, security and networking across a number of devices. Our comprehensive online CompTIA A+ training course is delivered by expert instructors with practical, real-word experience. Their aim is to provide you with all you need to pass your CompTIA A+ examination with ease.

By passing the CompTIA A+ exam, you’ll prove to employers that you have mastered the technologies found in today’s extensive and varied IT environments, and can confidently handle the most challenging technology problems more efficiently. CompTIA A+ acts as a stepping stone towards more advanced qualifications, such as CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+.

Why should I get A+ certified?

The CompTIA A+ validates skills employers need from entry-level technicians and often provides entry-level employment opportunities for aspiring IT practitioners without work-related experience. Once certified, you’ll qualify for jobs such as IT support and Technical support specialist, earning up to £25k a year.

Adding the CompTIA A+ qualification to your CV will greatly broaden your career prospects and significantly improve your earning potential with current or future employers.

Course Assesment Process

Course Assessment Process

To earn your official A+ certification from CompTIA, you will need to study the training courses and achieve a passing mark for both compulsory exams. These two exams include the 220-1001 exam which should be completed first before starting the 220-1002 exam.

  • CompTIA A+ 220-1001 - This exam covers mobile devices, networking technology, hardware, virtualization and cloud computing and network troubleshooting. 
  • CompTIA A+ 220-1002 - The second exam covers installing and configuring operating systems, expanded security, software troubleshooting and operational procedures.  

To prepare you for your exam, we provide interactive quizzes after each module and a mock exam at the end of your course to ensure you’re fully prepared for the real thing. Once you’ve passed with at least 85%, you’ll be ready to book your exam as a private candidate. To make life easier, we can help you find an appropriate exam centre and give you all the information you need to secure your place. 

 Please note that the CompTIA exam fees are not included in the course price. To find the latest exam prices, visit:
