CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71)
CompTIA Tech+ Certification Training Course
Build technology foundations across IT concepts, infrastructure, applications, software development basics, data, and security — CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71).
Course focus: IT concepts and terminology, devices and infrastructure, applications and software, software development concepts, data and database fundamentals, and security fundamentals aligned to CompTIA Tech+ exam objectives.
Course Overview
Technology foundations for career explorers and non-IT professionals.
Accumentum’s CompTIA Tech+ Certification Training Course prepares learners for the CompTIA Tech+ exam (FC0-U71). Tech+ helps students and career changers build a broader understanding of technology and decide whether an IT path is right for them.
This course is an entry foundation. It is not CompTIA A+. A+ remains the common next step for hands-on support technician work after Tech+.
Course Objectives
What you will be able to explain and apply at a foundational level.
01
IT concepts and infrastructure
Computing basics, devices, components, networking, virtualization, and cloud concepts (domains 1.0–2.0).
02
Applications and software
OS components, productivity and collaboration software, browsers, and emerging tech awareness (domain 3.0).
03
Development and data
Programming concepts and data/database fundamentals (domains 4.0–5.0).
04
Security fundamentals
CIA triad, authentication, device security, and basic privacy hygiene (domain 6.0).
Who Should Attend
- High school students, career changers, and non-IT professionals exploring technology careers.
- Advanced end users who want a structured technology foundation.
- Learners preparing for professional-level CompTIA paths such as A+ after building foundations.
- Anyone who needs a single certification covering broad IT foundations rather than a deep technician skill set.
Prerequisites
- No prior IT experience is required; CompTIA recommends Tech+ for beginners and non-IT professionals.
- Basic comfort with using computers and the internet helps.
- This training is foundational and is not CompTIA A+ technician training.
- Hands-on practice with common devices, OS settings, and safe computing habits supports exam readiness.
