So You Want to be a WGU Student

This course is the hardware, cloud, troubleshooting, and virtualization portion of the A+ certification.

First step in this course is looking over the objectives for 1201 (for 1101 please check the area below)

Studying for this course greatly depends on the following:

1. Experience
2. Work History
3. How Well you perform on exams
4. What kind of study learner you are

I will not divide the study guide based on what I did; instead, it will be based on experience and study style. There are many resources out there, and it can be very overwhelming to study for an A+. There is also mixed information that can be highly conflicting.

1101/1102 is officially retired

I have added my study guide for Core 1 for 1101, but keep in mind that some topics may be different, Certmaster has updated, and there may be things that are not on my guide so please do not take it as the end all and be all
