Hello Happy Friday!


Based on CompTIA's research and best practice recommendations, CompTIA A+ is the only industry-recognized credential with performance testing to prove professionals can think on their feet to perform critical IT support tasks.

Because performance is so essential to the A+ Certification, it is critical to set aside time in class for hands-on practice. Studies show learners only retain about 10% in a lecture format, but deeper learning and retention can increase by up to 75% when learners are given the ability to practice real-world tasks and skills in combination with other learning styles. The A+ course offers a comprehensive 50 hands-on labs, so even restructuring to a competency-first learning model could power considerable retention and engagement returns.

We still want to hear from you! If you have any feedback on how this has worked within your courses, please don't hesitate to share!

Have a great weekend!
