Choose Your Course

We offer two types of online training options designed to help you earn your CompTIA A+ certification: Self-paced, online courses and live, immersive boot camps. Find out which learning format works best for you.

 

Online CompTIA A+ Self-Paced Training Course
If you prefer a flexible learning format, the go-at-your-own-pace model can be a great option. This course consists of a structured outline to guide you through comprehensive, thorough training. Although not taught live, you can interact and correspond with a subject matter expert instructor and participate in a chat room of students taking the course at the same time as you.  

The benefits of self-paced A+ training include:

  • Train when you want: Choose your start date and your training schedule, whether daily on your lunch break or cramming all weekend long. For further motivation, you can join a study group or connect with others preparing for the exam.
  • Build an individual training plan: Avoid wasting time learning what you already know and getting tied to a group. Here, you can spend more time focused on the areas you need to learn most.
  • Prepare at your own pace: With on-demand training, you can take your time preparing for your A+. You will have 6 months to complete the estimated 290 course hours.
