CompTIA courses offered by College SA
CompTIA A+
Your first step in launching your career as an IT professional is to complete a CompTIA A+ course which will prepare you to write your examinations so that you can become certified as a computer technician.
The following are the CompTIA A+ courses offered by College SA:
1. CompTIA A+ Windows Vista Essentials
Successful completion of CompTIA A+ Windows Vista Essentials will mean that you have obtained computer technician skills using Microsoft Windows Vista.
There are two components to this course, namely, the Essentials component, and the Practical Application component. Both components are necessary in order to write the two exams that form part of the CompTIA A+ certification:

- 220-702 for CompTIA A+ Practical Application
