CompTIA A+ (220-1101/1102)
Master enterprise IT support, computer architecture, networking protocols, and operating systems for CompTIA A+.
This dual-track course comprehensively prepares students for both CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) and Core 2 (220-1102) examinations. Students analyze computer hardware architectures, enterprise networking standards, and operating system kernels alongside hands-on system administration, ticketing workflows, and field troubleshooting. Designed for aspiring systems technicians, it balances academic computer engineering foundations with industry-standard IT operational procedures.
Curriculum
Two complete tracks. Study either or both — each has its own exam and certificate.
An academically rigorous examination of microcomputer architecture, electrical bus topologies, communication protocol mechanics, and operating system kernel models foundational to modern enterprise endpoints.
Rigorous theoretical deconstruction of the von Neumann model, silicon packaging, bus synchronization, and RAM timing mechanics required for hardware component synthesis.
