This series will give you one study guide you need for the CompTIA A+ certification. This certification validates the knowledge and skills of entry-level computer service technicians. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification recognized by major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers. CompTIA A+ certification confirms a technician's ability to perform tasks such as installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking. To receive the certification, students must pass the Essentials test and one of the three other A+ exams. The MindLeaders study guide materials for all four tests allows you to certify in whichever manner you prefer. These study guide courses have been added to the practice exams that MindLeaders already released for this test.
