CompTIA A+ Certifications!
FSHS students traveled to Johnson County Community College to take on the challenge of passing the CompTIA A+ Core 1 and Core 2 certification exams. These exams are no small feat! They're rigorous, industry-recognized and not for the faint of heart. They're intended for individuals with a serious interest in Information Technology.
Here's a link for more information about the exam: (CompTIA Certification Link).
