Hello IT Professionals,
Although our renovated classroom is not quite available, our EdCert courses still are! We’re pleased to announce this EdCert schedule will include a new course which provides the basic concepts to successfully manage small- to medium-sized projects, inside and outside of IT. CompTIA Project+ covers essential project management concepts beyond the scope of a single methodology or framework.
An additional update to the course catalog is CompTIA’s A+ 2019 (Core Series). This series now consists of two independent courses reflecting the two corresponding certification exams, of which both exams are required to become A+ certified. See the descriptions below for CompTIA A+ 2019, Core 1 (Exam 220-1001) and for CompTIA A+ 2019, Core 2 (Exam 220-1002). Pricing for this CompTIA A+ series only is $250 each.
Another programming note is that to accommodate the return of Tuesday scheduling of Red Hat System Administration I & II (Exam EX200), several courses this semester meet across more than one week.
Carefully check your schedule and save the dates, as registration will soon be open!
