COMPTIA A+ CERTIFIED COMPUTER TECHNICIAN PROGRAM
The Computing Technology Industry Association (Comp TIA) created the A+Certification to address the need for an entry level vendor-neutral technician certification. The A+Certification is a good foundation for any IT worker's career and many employers are now requiring a minimum of this certification. The A+Certification is achieved by passing two exams. All candidates must take the CompTIA A+ Essential (220-601) exam, and one of the following: A+ IT Technician (220-602), or A+ Remote Support Technician (220-603), or A+ Depot Technician (22-604). The Essentials Exam validates the basic skills needed by any entry-level service technician regardless of job environment. The last three exam options give individuals the ability to grow their careers in a certain job area, and employers the flexibility to choose the exam combination that best fits their needs. CompTIA has recently updated the objectives for the A+ exams to keep current with the technology and the computing industry. FTCC offers courses to help the student acquire the knowledge and skill necessary to prepare for these new exams. A+ is the recommended starting point for most IT certification paths (ex. MCSE).
A+ CERTIFICATION: COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS Fee: $60
(A+ Certification Track recommended second course)
CompTIA A+Essentials validates knowledge of basic computer hardware
(recommended first course), and operating systems (recommended
second course), covering skills such as installation, building,
upgrading, repairing, configuring, troubleshooting, optimizing,
diagnosing, and preventive maintenance with additional elements of
security and soft skills. The Essentials Exam validates the basic
skills needed by any entry-level service technician regardless of
job environment. CLASS SIZE IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO 15.
Textbook requirement: Mike Meyers A+ Certification Passport
is available at the FTCC bookstore for $30.50 and must be purchased
