It's an internationally-recognized, fundamental IT training certification. Not interested in certification? No problem!

"I used these courses to pass the A+, Security+, and Network+ in a span of 2.5 months. I had no IT experience 4 months ago. Now I am a network engineer at a managed service provider with a great salary and solid upward mobility." - Ryan D. Mike is an incredible instructor and very engaging. Actually teaches you about technologies and how they work rather than just what you need to know to pass an exam. Can't recommend highly enough. - Dylan T. 'First impressions - Blown away by the quality of the material! Especially the live demonstrations with real components really give one a far superior learning experience compared to ppt slides. I hope this style of teaching becomes the norm.' -Krishnamohan C. Awesome! As an IT student, I already knew about PCs & related hardware and so on...this is an awesome course & Mike described everything nicely. If you are new to IT industry (less than 5 years) this is a must course for you! Muhammad T. [Mike] Meyers is amazing when it comes to explaining. His fun little bits, such as when he explains common problems and how to troubleshoot them, keep you engaged and help it stick so much better. I went from barely understanding little bits here and there to passing the 1001 on my first try with the help of this course. If you have tried reading the books and listening to lectures from people who sound like the teacher from Ferris Bueller then I would highly recommend this course paired with his practice tests. Robert F. This course was above my expectations! 1/2 way through and it is NOT boring, drilling information AT ALL!!! A positive, knowledgeable instructor who clearly speaks. Not only is the instructor positive, but fun and engaging. Very easily relays information in an easy to understand and easy to remember format. Perfect category breakdowns and great resources available too!!! THANK YOU (and your team) SO MUCH for all your hard work putting this course together!!! Looking forward to passing my CompTIA A+ with ease!!! Kerri O.WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS COURSE?Technology is ranked as the #1 source of U.S. jobs.

I loved the contents, I learned a lot.

By Thomas Moraga on 11/7/2020

Great information broken down into very easy to understand examples and explanations

By Robert Haynes on 11/7/2020

Very informational hope to apply the skills that I have learned today In real life.

By Tom Marett on 11/7/2020

Great teacher who is very interesting to watch. He makes everything easy to follow and doesn't include unnecessary information. The quizzes at the end of each topic also help you know what you need to go back to understand better.

By Kellen Sullivan on 11/7/2020

Very few mentions of specific types of questions. I noticed only a few occasions where Mr. Mike gave an example of how Comptia might present a question regarding one of the many topics that he covered. After completing the class, while I have an idea of what I need to study and memorize, I still don't know for sure what to expect come exam day. That being said, he is very entertaining and easy to listen to in addition to covering a very wide range of information.

By Natia Green on 11/7/2020

Enjoyed the way he is explaining easy to follow and understand, gives me high hopes to pass the CompTIA A+ (220-1001) exam!

By Moroni Burton on 11/7/2020

Great start to my IT education. Loved it, watched the whole thing twice through. Will probably watch it again to pick up a few more things I missed the first two times. Great instructor and team!

By Trevor Smith on 10/27/2020

Before start this course, my IT experience included setting up new devices for personal use and learning from Mike is enjoyable, engaging and easy to follow. Now onto Core 2!

By Eze Paul Uchechukwu on 10/26/2020

The course has opened my eyes to so many things in the field of computing which is an addition to what i previously knew. it has prepared me to face the first part of the CompTIA A+ exam with confidence. The experience has been worth it

By Joshua Kelly on 10/25/2020

Well done Mike, thank you for the enthusiasm on the subject matter. IT was fun.

By Cody Hampton on 10/24/2020

Been in I.T. for nearly a decade, finally decided to get the A+, this course taught me some stuff i didn't know. Also, Mike is engaging, and kept my interest the whole time. Even during the section about printers.
