Course Description

A+ Certification is the computer industry recognized credential that certifies the competency of PC Service Specialists. It is sponsored by CompTIA - the Computing Technology Industry Association, and tests are administered by Pearson VUE. This certification program is backed by over 50 Major computer hardware and software manufacturers, vendors, distributors, resellers, and publications. Certification provides a wealth of benefits to any person seeking a job in the computer industry! Your successful computer career can start with this one course, or it can serve as proof of your computer hardware and operating system knowledge as a professional already in your field.

The course consists of 23 chapters and over 15 hours of video. It is designed for self-paced learning, so students can review the material as many times as needed, at varying speeds.

It begins with soft skills and safety principles, then we dive into components, motherboards and processors.

We look at the firmware of BIOS and CMOS, then cover disk drives, power supplies, ports, cables and connectors, I/O devices and printers. A chapter on mobile devices, multimedia and laptops rounds out the hardware coverage.

After a discussion of preventive maintenance and troubleshooting procedures, we launch into operating systems, files, utilities, troubleshooting and optimization.

We cover device drivers and networking, then look at recovering systems and disaster recovery, rounding off the course with a discussion of cloud computing and security fundamentals.

This is not at all preparing me for passing the A+ exam. The material is so outdated it is practically a history lesson. 90% of this material is no longer appropriate for the A+ context.

By Noorali Habib on 5/6/2021

I have just started but I think I will really like this. I am not looking to do the exam. I am a software engineer but I need to understand hardware.

By Kayode Joseph Komolafe on 10/19/2020

Interesting instructor. Great teaching and very explanatory videos. Although I wish there could be an 'overall' test of knowledge quiz at the end of the whole course.

By Stephanie Swearingen on 9/27/2020

The instructor is monotone and slides aren't very exciting to look at, I wish it were more interactive or there were more real life examples being given

By Lauren Clark on 7/28/2020

So far, this course is very informative and I look forward to seeing the available demos and quizzes as I work best with hands-on material. Even so, the lectures are easily understood and easily digested.

By Bernardo Gonzalez on 4/6/2020

The professor is taking his time to really explain things. Also it does cover a lot of common sense scenarios that I have been able to experience.

By Norman Brodie on 3/30/2020

Yep. I already understand all the fundamentals but I'm sure there will many things I have not learned or known about that we will get into throughout the course.

By Leonard Kalama Washe on 3/28/2020

This was a very good course. It has helped me a lot to refresh what i already knew but i have to say i have come across new things i did not know. I recommend this course to everyone out there who wants to prepare himself for A+

By Rebecca Game on 2/20/2020

I do like the way it is set up for my learning process. I can view the video, or I can choose to read the material and look at pictures. Thank you

By John Fleming on 1/25/2020

This course was outstanding in that it was partitioned into small parts addressing each issue. The demos were outstanding and similar to being in an actual classroom. Learning is mental organization, and this program is the best that I have experienced.
