We will be having two vacation boot camps this semester, part one and part two. This February boot camp (2/10 > 2/14) will focus on half the materials needed to pass the exams needed to get your CompTIA A+ certification. Part two will happen during Spring Break.

Both boot camps consist of an intense 5-day learning experience covering the following content areas:

• Mobile Devices
• Networking
• Hardware
• Virtualization and Cloud Computing
• Hardware and Network Troubleshooting
• Operating Systems
• Security
• Software Troubleshooting
• Operational Procedures

Both boot camps are offered at no cost to Humble ISD students in high school and middle school. Faculty, staff, and community members are also welcome to participate.

Prerequisites

The CompTIA A+ certification is a difficult certification to achieve. As such while not required to attend, it is strongly recommended that attendees already have their CompTIA ITF+ certification and should purchase their own CompTIA A+ book - CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Eleventh Edition (Exams 220-1101 & 220-1102) 11th Edition. This book can be bought on Amazon for around $40 and well worth the investment.
