CompTIA A+ 220-1001 (Core 1)
About Course
Are you new to the IT field or desire a refresher of the basics? Then this course will help you learn the fundamentals of mobile devices, networking technology, hardware, virtualization and cloud computing, and network troubleshooting.
I studied the objectives and went through CompTIA’s book, and went to YoutTube and collected the videos and gathering them together in one place for others to learn.
This interactive and self-paced course is designed to coach you through those basics by building confidence and ensure mastery for success on the exam and support long-term retention of the material through interacting with different teachers, a customizable learning plan, and various types of questions, all tied to the A+ exam objectives.
My Approach
Practice, practice and more practice. My goal is not for you to pass the A+ exam, but learn to think like a technician from someone who is in the field. Some topics you will hear over and over again because a key to learning is repetition. You will learn through the following quizzes:
- Open-ended questions
- True or false
- Fill in the blank
- Matching
- Assignments
What Will You Learn?
- You will learn the basics of mobile devices.
- Learning how a network is designed and troubleshooting one
- Learning different hardware components and how they work with one another
- Virtualization and cloud computing
- Troubleshooting both a network and hardware

4. Virtualization and Cloud Computing
Iaas: The provider only provides you with a default operating system, and the responsibilities of the maintenance, development, and management are mostly on you. The provider solely manages the Network, Storage and Server. It's like someone giving you an empty room with not many tools to do your cooking, so you must buy like a gas cooker, utensils and all to do your kitchen.
Paas: Here, you are given preconfigured tools to develop your applications. This is like the developer's platform. Here you are only responsible for the data and application. Continuing my analogy, this is like someone offering you their kitchen with all utensils, gas cooker in place, all you just must do is do your cooking.
Saas: This is like a finished product (software and applications) you just use for your convenience, e.g., spreadsheets, office 365, etc. The provider does most of the management and updates of the app. Here you don't have to do any cooking. You just come in and get served a delicious meal :).
