CompTIA Tech+ Certification Prep Course

Breaking into IT can feel overwhelming for students and career changers who aren’t sure where to begin. With employers increasingly expecting digital literacy—over 90% of jobs now require some level of digital skill (World Economic Forum)—building a strong foundation is essential.

The CompTIA Tech+ certification establishes that foundation. As the new entry-level standard replacing the retired ITF+ exam, Tech+ covers hardware, software, networking, databases, operating systems, and cybersecurity, while introducing career pathways in each domain.

Delivered in a 5-day instructor-led format, Tech+ validates career-ready knowledge and prepares learners for advanced certifications like CompTIA A+, making it the ideal first step toward a successful IT career.

What You’ll Learn

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Understand notational systems, computing basics, the value of data, and troubleshooting methodology.
• Learn to set up and install common peripheral devices, configure wireless networks, and understand virtualization and cloud technologies.
• Gain knowledge of operating systems, application software, web browser features, and artificial intelligence tools like chatbots and generative AI.
• Apply programming language categories, organizational techniques, logic concepts, and foundational programming principles in software development.
• Understand database concepts, structures, and uses, as well as backup methods and the value of data in decision-making.
• Learn best practices for securing devices, managing passwords, and using encryption to protect data at rest and in transit.

Who Should Attend?

CompTIA Tech+ is ideal for students, aspiring tech practitioners with no experience, career changers, and professionals in non-technical roles who want to gain a better understanding of technology. It’s also a great fit for marketing, sales, and operations staff who want to enhance their tech skills and rely less on tech support.
