Description
Throughout a 12-week instructor-led, live virtual training course, students will prepare primarily for the certification exams of two industry-recognized technology credentials: CompTIA IT Fundamentals and CompTIA A+. Students meet each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30a-4:30p ET and participate in engaging, live virtual training sessions with an instructor and their peers. The remainder of the week is reserved for one-on-one tutoring and mindset coaching, study groups, self-paced interactive learning, practice exams, and more. Students will prepare to take the certification exams during the program and may be eligible for exam retakes should they need an additional attempt. As part of the curriculum, students will prepare to pass the exam by learning about foundational technology support concepts; completing simulated labs and activities; and gaining exposure to effective job search techniques. Students may also have the opportunity to connect with partner employers that hire individuals who hold either certification. Key exam topics include:
- IT Concepts & Terminology
- Infrastructure
- Applications & Software
- Software Development
- Database Fundamentals
- Security
- Mobile Devices
- Networking
- Hardware
- Virtualization & Cloud Computing
- Hardware & Network Troubleshooting
- Operating Systems
- Security
- Software Troubleshooting
- Operational Procedures
