If you are getting ready for a career as an entry-level information technology (IT) professional or personal computer (PC) service technician, the CompTIA® A+® Certification course is the first step in your preparation. The course will build on your existing user-level knowledge and experience with personal computer software and hardware to present fundamental skills and concepts that you will use on the job. In this course, you will acquire the essential skills and information you will need to install, upgrade, repair, configure, troubleshoot, optimize, and perform preventative maintenance of basic personal computer hardware and operating systems.

COMPTIA NETWORK+ CERTIFICATION NO. MCS521
This course is designed to prepare students for the 2002 CompTIA's Network+ Exam N10-003. Earning the Network+ Certification means that students have the knowledge needed to use and maintain a wide range of network technologies. From this exam, students often move on to more advanced IT certifications, including Microsoft's MCSA and MCSE, and Novell's CNE. Prerequisites to this course include 18 to 24 months of professional computer support experience. It is assumed that you have a general working knowledge of personal computers, and some network experience.

COMPTIA SECURITY+ CERTIFICATION NO. MCS522
Security+ Certification is the primary course you need to take if your job responsibilities include securing network services, network devices, and network traffic. Students who complete this course will be able to identify security threats and vulnerabilities, and help respond to and recover from security incidents. You’ll build on your knowledge and professional experience with computer hardware, operating systems, and networks as you acquire the specific skills required to implement basic security services on any types of computer network. This course will cover security concepts that are prerequisites for attending other Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courses for security specialists and help prepare students for the CompTIA Security+ exam (exam number SY1-101). This course has been approved as CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum (CAQC) for the CompTIA Security+ certification. The CAQC program assures students that all test objectives for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam are covered in the course materials. Although the course focuses on Microsoft product- and technology-specific implementation of security concepts, many of these same concepts can be applied to other technologies.
