Microcomputer A+ Preparation (4 CR)

This course is designed to be a general introduction to personal computer hardware and operating system software. The course teaches the operation, installation and upgrade of all the major components of a typical PC. The course also provides the basic knowledge to prepare the student for passing the A+ test, which is the industry standard certification for personal computer technicians. Since A+ Certification is based upon the Windows Operating System and Intel/AMD-type microprocessors, these will be the basis of the course. The course will cover both of the A+ Certification testing areas: PC Hardware (Core Test) and Operating Systems (OS Test). 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $5 to $10.
