With the rapidly
increasing demand for PC
technicians, just being good at
your job is not enough anymore.
A+ Certification will enhance
your current credentials, help
pave the way to better job
opportunities and give you an
edge over other PC Repair
Technicians.
CompTIA A+
Certification is a testing
program sponsored by the
Computing Technology Industry
Association (CompTIA) that
certifies the competency of
service technicians in the
computer industry. The
exams cover a broad range of
hardware and software
technologies, but are not
related to any vendor-specific
products. A + is also a good
prerequisite before you do the
Microsoft MCSA certification
course. A+ and Network+ is one
of the electives.
Our PowerLearning System
offers you the most effective
way to earn your CompTIA A+ 2009
certification and teaches
students the competence in areas
as installation, preventative
maintenance, networking,
security, troubleshooting,
customer service and
communication skills to work
with clients. After completing
this course, students will know
hardware, laptops, motherboards,
processors, memory, CPU,
troubleshooting theory,
preventative maintenance
techniques, Windows XP, Windows
Vista, cables, connectors,
network types, SOHO network,
Security concepts, security
technologies, viruses, malware,
communication and
professionalism.
CompTIA A+ Essentials
measures the necessary
competencies of an entry-level
IT professional with a
recommended 500 hours of
hands-on experience in the lab
or field. It tests for the
fundamentals of computer
technology, networking and
security, as well as the
communication skills and
professionalism now required of
all entry-level IT
professionals.
CompTIA A+ Practical
Application is an extension of
the knowledge and skills
identified in CompTIA A+
Essentials, with more of a
"hands-on" orientation focused
on scenarios in which
troubleshooting and tools must
be applied to resolve problems.
The course curriculum is

Quality Curriculum) or in the
