CompTIA A+ Pre-Requisites

Please read this section very carefully, because it deals with student expectations from the CompTIA A+ boot camp experience.

No IT experience is necessary to attend. No, we are not kidding, prior IT experience is not required. While this CompTIA A+ Boot Camp is very attractive to students both new to IT, and students already in the IT field, the expectations of the two groups will be different.

Do not worry if you feel less experienced in IT. Perhaps all it means is that you will just have to study a bit harder to get your certifications and, once achieving those, be able to gain the production experience in an IT environment.

People understand concepts best when they have done work that is related to the concepts. Our CompTIA A+ course focuses on getting into your brain the "roadmaps" you need to do the work. If you have sufficient IT background, this CompTIA A+ course will empower you to be able to pass the two A+ tests during the Boot Camp. If you don't have the IT background (or enough of it), and you have not studied enough related material, you will still get the roadmap that you need to continue on and (with effort) be able to pass all the tests, typically within 30-45 days.

The instructor will establish contact with you in order to continue to mentor you after the CompTIA A+ boot camp, to make sure that you pass your tests.

It is also interesting to observe the dynamics of the CompTIA A+ Boot Camp when it has both experienced and less experienced students. A true Team is formed early in the class that is very helpful for students who are less experienced since those with more experience contribute significantly to the Team effort.
