CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide (Course & Labs)
Gear up to prepare for the CompTIA A+ exams with the CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide that contains course and performance based labs. Performance based labs simulate real-world, hardware, software & command line interface environments and can be mapped to any text-book, course & training. CompTIA training course covers all the objectives of 220-901 & 220-902 exams and provides the technical knowledge required to install, configure, and maintain devices, PCs and software for end users; properly and safely diagnose, resolve and document common hardware and software issues.
The 220-901 and 220-902 exams are a part of CompTIA's A+ certification. The CompTIA A+ course can benefit you in two ways. Whether you work or plan to work in a mobile or corporate environment where you have a high level of face-to-face customer interaction, where client communication and client training are important, or in an environment with limited customer interaction and an emphasis on hardware activities. The exam also covers the topics like assemble components based on customer requirements; provide appropriate customer support; apply troubleshooting skills; and understand the basics of networking and security/forensics.
