The demand for certified technicians is growing fast and the ones most sought after have the A+ Certification. Earning the A+ certification means that you possess the knowledge, skills, and customer relations skills essential for a successful computer service technician as defined by companies across the industry.

CompTIA’s A+ certification is an international industry credential that validates the knowledge of computer service technicians with the equivalent of 500 hours of hands-on experience. Major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers accept CompTIA A+ as the standard in foundation-level, vendor-neutral certification for service technicians. The exams cover a broad range of hardware and software technologies, but are not bound to any vendor-specific products. The skills and knowledge measured by the CompTIA A+ exams were derived from an industry-wide and worldwide job task analysis.

To become certified, you must pass two test modules, A+ Essentials and one of the following: IT Technician, Remote Support Technician, or Depot Technician. UNO CTTC is pleased to offer an instructor-led course, which includes comprehensive training materials, practical exercise lab, and a hardware tool kit designed to prepare you for the A+ Essentials and IT Technician exams.

Earning CompTIA A+ certification proves that a candidate has a broad base of knowledge and competency in core hardware and operating system technologies including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking.
