We certainly don’t expect you to understand all those letters are after our technicians’ names or what they stand for. This page explains which certifications our techs carry and why we feel they are so important to have!
A+ Certification is a testing program sponsored by CompTIA that certifies the competency of service and repair technicians in the computer industry. Anyone who wants an internationally recognized credential as a competent computer service professional can take the A+ examination. The program is backed by major computer hardware and software vendors, distributors, resellers and publications. Earning A+ certification means that the individual possesses the knowledge, skills, and customer relations skills essential for a successful computer service and repair technician, as defined by experts from companies across the industry. The test covers a broad range of computer hardware and software technologies, but are not related to any vendor-specific products. When both the Core and the DOS/Windows portions are passed, the candidate receives the A+ designation.
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification validates IT professional and developer technical expertise through rigorous, industry-proven, and industry-recognized exams. MCP exams cover a wide range of Microsoft products, technologies, and solutions.
