A+ certification is where IT careers begin. You'll learn all about troubleshooting, repairing and upgrading home and office computers, focusing on PC hardware and desktop operating systems (OS). This is the certification required to become a PC Diagnostic and Repair Technician.
The 2005 A+ Series uses today's hardware and operating systems to teach you all the objectives for the CompTIA Core Hardware and OS Technologies Exams for A+ certification. We used current technologies and gave special emphasis to Windows XP skills to make these videos especially relevant for on-the-job use, while still fully mapping to the exam objectives.
The Core Hardware videos cover motherboards, CPUs, hard drives, RAM, video and sound adapters, laptops, printers and other peripherals and much, much more. The OS Technologies training demonstrates the Windows desktop OS, along with DOS, disk and file management, network user profiles, drivers, boot and recovery, plus diagnostic and repair tools and utilities.
A basic understanding of computer usage is recommended for this training.
