Unitek's 5-day CompTIA A+ boot camp will give you the skills and knowledge you need to troubleshoot hardware and software installations. Our superb instructors lead you through detailed courseware, intensive lab exercises and to-the-point exam preparation. This boot camp gets you to your A+ certification in under a week, and thoroughly prepares you for an entry level IT professional position.

Boot camp Highlights

  • High-speed wireless Internet access for your laptops in both the training center and the hotel
  • All inclusive boot camp includes (optional) Deluxe single-occupancy hotel stay (with breakfast), all lunches, exam vouchers, Testout! test-prep software and more
  • 50 hours of hands-on instructor led training by the best in the industry. 10 hours per day of instruction from a certified instructor! For complete details of the topics covered, refer to the day-to-day schedule

Students often ask about the difference between Unitek's A+ course and our A+ certification boot camp. Our A+ boot camp is different from our other boot camps in that it is structured so that your class starts shortly after you enroll. Students get a chance to take the A+ tests on the last day if they feel ready (generally, most students prepare for the hardware test, and take the second test the week after). With perks like test prep coaching, free test vouchers, free test-prep software, a private discussion board just for your class for follow-up questions with your peer group and all lunches everyday, the A+ boot camp is suited to most individuals (both beginners and IT professionals) interested in learning and in certification. Consider it a complete super-set of Unitek's standard A+ course.

On the other hand, Unitek's A+ course is an offering primarily designed for those individuals who are unable to attend the boot camp during day times. This course is mostly offered in evening format. It is also an excellent choice for individuals who do not have certification as a primary goal.
This course is often taught as part of the 9 Day Comptia Boot Camp For A+, NET +, SECURITY

Iron-clad guarantee

Our guarantee to you: You will obtain your A+ certification. Period. If you finish our BootCamp without your certification, you can attend a future BootCamp, all at no cost to you. To attend a future BootCamp, simply retain your courseware and test-prep material. You will need to pay for your (optional) Hotel ($66 per day), meals and test voucher.

Furthermore, we believe this course offers the best possible training in this field. If during the first day, you are not satisfied and wish to withdraw from the course, simply notify the instructor, return all course materials, and receive a 100% refund. All training materials must remain with the instructor at the time of withdrawal. If you have written anything in the training materials, we will not be able to take them back and will charge you for them.

The following will void your guarantee:

  • Keeping your cellular phone turned on during class hours for business purposes.
  • Arriving late for class, or leaving early.
Pre-Requisites

Please read this section very carefully, because it deals with student expectations from the boot camp experience.

No IT experience is necessary to attend. No, we are not kidding, prior IT experience is not required. While this Boot Camp is very attractive to students both new to IT, and students already in the IT field, the expectations of the two groups will be different.

Do not worry if you feel less experienced in IT. Perhaps all it means is that you will just have to study a bit harder to get your certifications and, once achieving those, be able to gain the production experience in an IT environment.

People understand concepts best when they have done work that is related to the concepts. Our course focuses on getting into your brain the "roadmaps" you need to do the work. If you have sufficient IT background, this course will empower you to be able to pass the two A+ tests during the Boot Camp. If you don't have the IT background (or enough of it), and you have not studied enough related material, you will still get the roadmap that you need to continue on and (with effort) be able to pass all the tests, typically within 30-45 days.

The instructor will establish contact with you in order to continue to mentor you after the boot camp, to make sure that you pass your tests.

It is also interesting to observe the dynamics of the Boot Camp when it has both experienced and less experienced students. A true Team is formed early in the class that is very helpful for students who are less experienced since those with more experience contribute significantly to the Team effort.

Student Materials

You will receive a CompTIA® A+ training kit consisting of the latest Sybex tests which focus on the latest exams.

Vouchers and Exams

Exams are delivered at the Training Center, which is an authorized VUE Testing Center. Since the exams are adaptive, they are only 90 minutes in length. We will provide a large number of testing stations dedicated to the boot camp. A test administrator will be available throughout the day, and in the evening, to register you for the tests.

You will receive 2 test vouchers. No additional payment is necessary for the vouchers. If you have already passed one of the tests, talk to your counselor about a voucher discount.

The Bootcamp will prepare you for the following exams:

  • 220-601 CompTIA® A+ Essentials Exam
  • 220-602 CompTIA® IT Technician Designation Pathway
