Course description
PC Technology - Level 3 Course
The PC Technology - Level 3 Online Course is designed for students who are interested in starting a career as a PC technician or who simply want to learn more about their PC hardware and Windows operating system. The course is also designed as a thorough introduction to the renowned and industry-recognised CompTIA (Computer Technology Industry Association) A+ syllabus, so that PC technology novices are suitably prepared for the highly-technical content of the A+ course itself.
The course teaches all you need to know about PC hardware components, diagnostics, maintenance, and troubleshooting, the support and maintenance of the latest Windows 10 operating system, networking fundamentals, the latest mobile devices, the Internet and web technologies, such as the HyperText Markup language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and how to protect your PC and network against malicious software attacks, viruses, and cyber-crime.
The course is in a modern multimedia online format, includes a wide range of high-quality close-up photographs of important hardware components, and is continuously updated as technology evolves, so it is always up-to-date with the latest hardware innovations and Windows operating system developments.
