Hey, Mike Meyers here. The Team at Total Seminars and I are excited to bring you this video series to help you pass the CompTIA A+ Certification Core 1 (220-1101) exam.
Between my bestselling A+, Network+, and Security+ books and my video courses, I’ve taught over 2 million people how to take and pass these CompTIA IT industry certification exams. I’ve got an easy-going, approachable, and funny teaching style that has helped newbies and experienced techs alike learn valuable IT skills. I’ve taught in-person seminars for the DEA and the FBI, and now I’m going to teach you.
I’m joined by my buddy, Steve Nicholson, who brings a ton of knowledge and experience to this course. He’s taught thousands of college students, worked as a Chief Technical Officer, and even had a stint in the Marine Corps. Oh, and don’t forget to ask him about the chickens at his house!
