CompTIA A+ (220-1101 & 220-1102)

CISNET's online CompTIA A+ training is a live, instructor-led certification program covering both Core 1 (220-1101) and Core 2 (220-1102) — the two papers required to earn the credential. The bootcamp runs 30 hours and is the industry-standard entry point into IT, the most-requested credential on Canadian helpdesk and desktop support job postings. Every session is hands-on: real hardware teardowns, OS installations on Windows, macOS and Linux, mobile device configuration, networking fundamentals, virtualization, and the operational security scenarios the certification tests. Your instructor walks you through every objective with Canadian-context examples — the same desktop, ticketing and break-fix problems you will see on day one of an IT role here. The CompTIA A+ exam is split across two papers and pacing matters across both; weekly question drills, structured CompTIA A+ study reviews, and timed mock papers train that pacing directly. CompTIA A+ salary in Canada typically starts at CAD 45K to 60K for newly certified holders and rises quickly with experience. CompTIA A+ jobs are abundant in every major Canadian city and across hybrid and remote setups, with demand running well ahead of supply for true generalist desktop and field roles. The CompTIA A+ career path leads naturally into networking (CompTIA Network+, CCNA), security (Security+) and cloud (AWS Cloud Practitioner) follow-on training. CISNET includes full lab access, retake coaching, weekly office hours, and a paced plan that walks you through both papers without burnout. No prior IT background is required to start — the instructor-led format assumes nothing and builds you up to certification with an exam-aligned roadmap. The course is consistently the fastest first-IT-role producer in our catalogue across Canada, and we run mock-interview sessions after certification so the credential converts into a job offer rather than a line item on a resume. Resume reviews and salary-negotiation coaching are included for every graduate.
