CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) Course

This is the second of a two-course series and is designed to prepare you to take and pass the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) exam. It’s an internationally-recognized, fundamental IT training certification. Not interested in certification? No problem! Even if you just want to learn about the basics of IT and computers, I’ve got you covered.

• Course 1: TOTAL: CompTIA A+ Certification (220-1101)

• Course 2: TOTAL: CompTIA A+ Certification (220-1102) (this course)

To become fully A+ certified you will need to pass both the 220-1101 and 220-1102 exams.

Technology is ranked as the #1 source of U.S. jobs. Are you looking to kickstart your career, improve your existing IT skills, or increase your chances of getting that IT job? Did you know 96% of HR managers use IT certifications as screening or hiring criteria during recruitment?

Some jobs that use A+ certifications are Support Specialists (avg. 54,500/yr.), Field Service Technicians (avg. 46,000/yr.), and Desktop Support Analysts (avg. 60,000/yr.)

More Certifications = More money

* A+ Certification with no other certifications = 47,500 / year

* A+ Certification with 1 or 2 other active certs. = 84,250 / year

* A+ Certification with 3 or 4 other active certs. = 92,080 / year

* A+ Certification with 5 or 6 other active certs. = 97,310 / year

* A+ Certification with 7 or 8 other active certs. = 105,150 / year

Not looking for a cert? Maybe you’re just interested in how to keep your home network router from constantly doing that annoying red-blinky-light thing. Or be the family hero and set up that awesome smart thermostat you’ve had in your Amazon cart for a year! Or perhaps you want to learn how to get your iPhone to work so you don’t have to keep asking your friend’s brother’s aunt’s niece for help. Whatever your motivation, this course is perfect to help give you a robust IT foundational knowledge in a way that’s easy-to-understand. And, hopefully, you’ll have a few laughs with me along the way.
