A+ Certification Training Seminar Part 1

A Seminar is a course of instruction that enhances a student's career, as opposed to a program that teaches skills and fundamental knowledge required for a stated occupation. Asher College Seminars are standalone courses from existing programs. A seminar is asynchronous and measured in terms of lessons. Each seminar has a specific beginning and end date.

Total Course Length: 4 lessons (@100 clock hours). Enrollment Term: 8 weeks. In order to receive the CompTIA A+ certification, you must pass two exams. Students are eligible to take the 220-1101 CompTIA exam upon the successful completion of the course.

Successful candidates will have the knowledge required to:

• Assemble components based on customer requirements.
• Install, configure and maintain devices, PCs and software for end users.
• Understand the basics of networking and security/forensics.

As a CompTIA partner, Asher College can help you get trained and A+ certified right on our campus. Prove to employers that you have the PC repair skills required to help keep their computer systems running smoothly. CompTIA’s A+ does just that.
