Duration: Five days in-person (9AM – 5PM) at MassHire (554 Main Street, 4th floor, Worcester, MA) plus hours of practice labs.
As with most professional IT certifications, many additional hours of study are required before the class (fulfilling prerequisites) and after the class (reviewing exam objectives and practice questions). Trainees should expect to spend a significant number of hours studying before taking the CompTIA certification exams. Studying and preparing with the practice exams will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time.
ONLC’s CompTIA certification classes come with an Exam Pass Guarantee. Before releasing the initial exam voucher, each student must take the Practice Test ONLC provides and achieve a score of 85% or better in Certification Mode.
