IT Essentials (Hardware & Software)

The IT Essentials course covers the fundamentals of computer hardware and software and advanced concepts such as security, networking, and the responsibilities of an IT professional. It is designed for students who want to pursue careers in ICT and students who want to gain practical knowledge of how a computer works. Students apply skills and procedures to install, configure, and troubleshoot computers, mobile devices, and software.

New topics in this version include mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones and client side virtualization. Expanded topics include security, networking, and troubleshooting.

Hands-on lab activities are essential elements that are integrated into the curriculum. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop are standalone tools that enable students to virtually disassemble and reassemble desktop and laptop computers. Both tools are designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive “hands-on” experience in environments with limited networking equipment.

For students seeking career-oriented, entry-level hardware and software skills to prepare for technical support roles, this course aligns with the CompTIA A+ certification. This course also serves as a foundation for CCNA-level courses.
