COM3056 - A+, Network+ and Security+ Certification Exam Prep

Course Description

This course prepares for the CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ Certification exams. The CompTIA A+ certification exam verifies entry level IT skills including computer repair, software and operating systems, network administration, information security, cloud computing and troubleshooting of both desktop and mobile devices. Candidates passing the CompTIA Network+ exam will help to further their career in IT infrastructure including troubleshooting, configuring, and managing networks. Becoming Network+ certified is a gateway to other in-demand IT credentials and towards a career in networking or telecommunications. CompTIA Security+ is the first security certification IT professionals should earn. It establishes the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role & provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Security+ incorporates best practices in hands-on trouble-shooting to ensure security professionals have practical security problem-solving skills. Cybersecurity professionals with Security+ know how to address security incidents - not just identify them.
