A+ Computer Technician Certificate


This certificate provides a broad base of knowledge and competency in core hardware and operating system technologies including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance, and basic networking. It is a foundation certificate for computer repair technicians.

Additionally, this certificate prepares students to take the CompTIA A+ certification exams, an international industry credential that validates the knowledge of computer service technicians with the equivalent of 500 hours of hands-on experience. Major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers accept CompTIA A+ certification as the standard in foundation-level, vendor-neutral certification for service technicians. The exams cover a broad range of hardware and software technologies, but are not bound to any vendor-specific products.

The A+ certificate is offered at Colorado Mountain College at all CMC locations via remote learning options. Please contact a campus counselor or academic advisor at the preferred campus for more information. For additional program location & modality information, please see Academic Programs at Colorado Mountain College.
