Description
This theory/lab course is designed to examine computer hardware design and configurations in preparation for the A+ Certification Core exam. Each student will build, install operating systems, test, and troubleshoot a personal computer (PC) throughout the course. Topics such as motherboards, storage devices, I/Os, disk drives, multimedia, CD-ROMs, monitors, local area networks, and printers will be covered in detail. Theory will be reinforced by hands-on applications through the building, troubleshooting, and debugging of personal computers. Students will take many simulated A+ exams in preparation for the A+ certification core test.
