The CompTIA A+ Certification Prep 2: Software course teaches you about working with many different operating systems, virtual machines, and various software. In part two of our three-step series, you will learn how to operate and maintain these items on our systems.
According to CompTIA, getting your A+ certification can lead to a rewarding IT career—with average salaries ranging from $45,000-$60,000, depending on the role you pursue.
Note: Students should previously have completed the CompTIA A+ Certification Prep 1: Hardware course. Upon completion of CompTIA A+ Certification Prep 2: Software, you should prepare to enroll in our final prep course, CompTIA A+ Certification Prep 3: Network Security, to successfully prepare for both the 220-1101/1102 exams and your career as a certified technician.
