Computer systems are now a vital
resource for organisations in the
private and public sectors. Yet many are
confronting a shortage of the skilled
personnel needed to design, build and
maintain their computer systems. ITB has
developed its training resources in order
to meet this need and is now registered
as a CompTIA E2C partner, authorised to
deliver the CompTIA range of modules.
CompTIA A+
CompTIA A+ certification validates
the latest skills needed by today’s
computer support professionals. It is an
international, vendor-neutral certification
recognised by major hardware and
software vendors, distributors and
resellers. CompTIA A+ confirms a
technician’s ability to perform tasks
such as installation, configuration,
diagnosing, preventive maintenance and
basic networking. The exams also cover
domains such as security, safety and
environmental issues and communication
and professionalism.
CompTIA A+ ensures the right people
have the right skills. While many of the
essential skills are universal, there are
additional skills required to support
the needs of businesses. By offering
alternative validation paths for specific job
scenarios, CompTIA A+ gives individuals
the ability to develop their careers in a
certain area and employers the flexibility
to choose the validation that best fits
their needs.
The course will achieve its aim by
transferring knowledge and skills to the
participants in a dynamic and exciting
way, making the best use of instructorled
tuition, practical skills sessions,
project work and the most up-to-date
on-line learning materials.
