A+ Certification Training II
Indio High School Full year “g” 10 th,11th,12th Integrated (Academics/CTE) Course Overview: A+ Certification Training II students will acquire knowledge, through the use of online software, of basic computer hardware and operating systems, covering such skills as installation, upgrading, configuring, troubleshooting, optimizing, diagnosing and preventative maintenance. Students will also gain knowledge of additional elements such as networking and server issues, security, safety, environmental issues, communication, and professionalism. A+ Certification Training II is a class designed as the next step for those students that pass the PC Pro Certification exam in the A+ Certification I class. It is designed as a class that will help students prepare for and pass the Testout Network Pro Certification and Testout Security Pro exams. These certifications certify the competency of PC Service Specialists and put students on the industry standard CISCO pathway. They validate the latest skills needed by today’s computer support professionals and are essential in obtaining entry-level IT careers. These certification exams are given to each student at no extra cost. The greatest value we can give to the individual is a certification that proves job skills.
- Employers want a certification that proves job skills so they can have confidence they're hiring qualified individuals. Employers want to know, " Can you do the job? "
- Educators need an authentic assessment to validate that the instruction was effective, taught relevant skills, and accomplished the educational objectives.
- Individuals need a way to prove to employers and educators that they can do the job. The greatest value of a certification is its ability to prove job skills.
- While it is "what you can do" that ultimately makes the difference to individuals, certification is the final step in the process that verifies job skills to employers, educators, and themselves. Both businesses and educators have a need for better certifications that measure actual job skills, not just recall of factual knowledge. TestOut Pro Certifications are authentic measures of real-world job skills. By testing what you can do, not just what you know, we measure the critical skills demanded by today's employers.
