COMP 1045 - CompTIA A+ Certification Preparation
CompTIA A+ is a vendor independent industry certification aimed at technicians who work in PC Support or Help Desk. Students learn to perform tasks such as: component installation, software configuration, diagnosing problems, preventive maintenance and basic networking. This hands-on course is aimed at School of Computing students and prepares them to challenge two current CompTIA certification exams which are separate from BCIT credit. In order to be awarded the A+ designation, students must pass both CompTIA `A+ Essentials? and `A+ Practical Application' exams which are delivered through third parties, at an additional cost. The A+ designation is recognised by industry as validation for professional computer support skills with current PC hardware components and MS Windows operating systems. Prerequisite: COMP 1002 or equivalent knowledge of MS Windows. (6 Credits)
