CompTIA A+ certification

Mike Meyers, a well-known instructor of IT certification courses, serves as your guide through this compact, budget-friendly study companion for the CompTIA A+ credential. The book concentrates on the material you need for the A+ Essentials exam and the 220-602 exam, and it is built to be carried anywhere you study.

The layout borrows a travel theme. Each lesson opens with a list of the official exam objectives it covers and an estimate of the time it will take. Along the way you'll find expert warnings on difficult topics, short glossary-style definitions of key terms, suggested resources for further reading, and notes on common exam mistakes with advice for avoiding them. Each chapter closes with review questions, complete with answers and explanations. A final section maps out career options in IT so you can see where the certification might lead.

The package also includes four full practice exams on CD, a collection of Mike's preferred shareware and freeware utilities for working with PCs, and an electronic version of the book.
