Is this course right for you?

Our take
A thorough way to prepare for CompTIA A+, the standard entry credential for IT support and help-desk roles. It covers both A+ exams.

Good for: beginners preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification and entry IT support roles.

Skip if: you already work in IT support, or you do not intend to sit the exams.

Jason Dion covers Core 1 (hardware, networking, mobile devices, virtualization) and Core 2 (Windows, Linux, macOS, security and troubleshooting) at the depth the exams require, exam-aligned and regularly updated for the current objectives.

What it does not do is award the certification — that requires passing two separate paid CompTIA exams — and it is entry-level, so if you already work in IT support, or you do not intend to sit the exams, it is not for you. On price, wait for a Udemy sale.
