CompTIA's Server+ is a
vendor-neutral certification
that validates the competency of
advanced IT technicians. The
Server+ Certification confirms a
technician's knowledge of
Industry Standard Server
Architecture (ISSA) technology,
technologies such as RAID, SCSI
and multiple CPUs, as well as
capabilities with server issues,
including disaster recovery.
The CompTIA Server+

Test Preparation
Note: The
courses listed on our website
are all different, having been
developed over a period of
years. The PowerLearning™
courses are presented by
Industry Specialists and use a
powerful combination of audio,
full-motion video, text and
colourful graphics. Some have
simulations and some don't have
simulations at all. In high-end
courses, there is no realistic
way to simulate the product in
enough detail to help on the
exam. To pass the exam students
will need hands on practice
using the real software. They
need to either download a trial
version of the software or buy
licensing for it and practice
using it. Its really the only
way to be fully prepared for
both the exam and on the job.
That is really where our
training shines. We provide the
necessary pieces for people to
grasp and to give them a road
map of sorts to practice on
their own
*The course materials is subject
to changes as the certification
exams are changed.
