Who Should Attend?

Our instructor-led CompTIA A+ Training is ideal for those new to the information technology field, individuals interested in a career change, or anyone looking to better understand how computers work. Our program can help individuals access entry-level positions at technology companies as computer technicians or IT professionals. 

Certification Details

Our 15 week boot camp certification training provides hands-on experience in preparation for the CompTIA A+ 1002 certification. The exam covers installing and configuring operating systems, mobile devices, storage devices, expanded security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures. Other domain areas may include:

  • Network connections
  • Peripheral components
  • How to input devices
  • Desktop Imaging
  • PC Hardware
  • Cloud computing
  • Raid arrays
  • Input devices

Required Exams

It is recommended that individuals undergo the CompTIA A+ Certification Boot Camp to receive both the A+ 220-1001 and 220-1002 exams. This training will provide the necessary footing to pursue additional certifications like Server+, though this may be bypassed with enough self-study and computer experience.

The CompTIA A+ Exams include multiple-choice questions, drag-and-drop activities, and performance-based items to test one’s ability to solve problems in a simulated environment.

Prerequisites

While there are no existing prerequisites for our certification exam training, a general understanding of using Apple OS, Microsoft Windows, mobile devices, and other operating systems is recommended. 

Why Is CompTIA A+ The Industry Standard For A Career In IT?

Today’s computer support professionals must maintain an understanding of the basics of virtualization, deployment, and desktop imaging. They should also be prepared to provide appropriate customer support when necessary. 

The CompTIA A+ Certification will prepare you for a successful IT career or a promotion in your current position. These credentials remain the qualifying preference for technical support and IT operational roles. 

Breaking Into Cybersecurity With CompTIA

As we rely more heavily on digital devices for day-to-day operations, data breaches will become increasingly common. With cybercrime on the rise, the need for cybersecurity professionals continues to grow.

In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts employment among information security analysts will grow by over 30% over the next decade. That rate far exceeds that expected for other professions.

After completing both the A+ 220-1001 and 220-1002 CompTIA exams, recipients may pursue the CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway. This program will instill within students the network security skills needed to protect organizations from cyberattacks and threats.

Individuals will be prepared for intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs as IT auditors, systems administrators, network administrators, and security administrators.

Average A+ Salary

According to information collected by Payscale, the average salary for individuals with A+ certification ranges from $38,248 to $74,186.

Training Camp Accepts GI Bill®

The US Department approves our CompTIA A+Training Camp of Veterans Affairs to accept these education benefits for select certification programs, both Live Online and In-Person.

The first class I took at ICOHS was parasympathetic massage with Karen Heine Zlatic, a patient, kind holistic health practitioner/teacher. I now think of her as the mother of massage. She is a perfect introduction to this school. See More...
