Varsity Tutors' Pittsburgh CompTIA A+ certification training can provide you with comprehensive test prep if you're planning to take the CompTIA A+ certification. The CompTIA A+ certifies your foundational IT skills across a variety of devices and operating systems. It's a valuable credential to have if you are seeking better job prospects in tech support or IT operational roles. With a CompTIA A+ certificate, you can be considered for promotions, negotiate higher pay, and enhance your credibility as an IT professional. Some of the jobs you can have with an A+ certificate include Desktop Support Analyst, Field Service Technician, or Support Specialist.
The CompTIA A+ certification is composed of two 90-minute tests that each have 90 questions. The first test covers network troubleshooting, mobile devices, hardware, virtualization and cloud computing, and networking technology. The second test covers expanded security, operational procedures, software troubleshooting, and installing and configuring operating systems. There are no prerequisites for taking the test; however, it's recommended that a candidate have at least 9 to 12 months of work experience before sitting in for the exam.
Preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification through our Pittsburgh CompTIA A+ certification course has several benefits you might not easily get if you're studying on your own. You can learn more about the content and format of the two tests with the guidance of an experienced instructor. All instructors who handle the courses have passed a careful selection process, so you can be confident that you are being trained by a qualified professional. It will also be easy for you to improve your skills and progress in your study since you will have a teacher to turn to if you ever stumble upon difficult topics covered in the test. If you have questions about the basics of networking and security forensics or want to clarify points about security vulnerabilities for devices and their network connections, you can immediately ask them to your instructor and get relevant answers.
Beyond the content of the test, your instructor in the Pittsburgh CompTIA A+ certification training can also teach you strategies that can boost your test results. These strategies may include managing your limited test time, improving your study methods, and analyzing questions to quickly eliminate incorrect answers in your choices. Even if you have IT technical experience, there can still be a lot to learn in the course that can have a positive impact on your performance on exam day.
Another benefit is that you can do your test prep online. You don't have to fit an extra commute in your schedule just to start with your review. The classes are delivered to you live using our Live Learning Platform. You can study from home, your office, or a library like Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh or Hillman Library. As long as you have an internet connection, you can attend your lessons. You will meet your teacher and other CompTIA A+ candidates using video chat and your instructor can use a virtual whiteboard so you can follow the lessons as if you were in a regular school.
Since the course is online, we are also able to offer more course times than what you usually get from a traditional test prep course. We offer 2-week and 4-week courses that have morning, afternoon, and evening lessons. There are new class sections that start every month, so you can always enroll in the course you are looking for.
If you are excited to prepare for your CompTIA A+ certification, reach out to our educational consultants at Varsity Tutors so we can find you a Pittsburgh CompTIA A+ certification class that fits your schedule.
