Welcome to your CompTIA A+ Core 1 course. Whether this is your first step into IT or you're formalizing skills you've been building for years, this course takes you from the fundamentals to exam-day confidence — and gives you the hands-on knowledge that matters once you're on the job.
What the A+ Certification Is
CompTIA A+ is the industry-standard certification for entry-level IT roles. Employers worldwide treat it as proof that you can install, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot the technology that keeps organizations running. Earning the full A+ means passing two exams: Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). This course prepares you for Core 1 — the hardware, networking, mobile device, and troubleshooting half.
