Ashworth College

PC Service and Repair Training

There are millions of personal computers in use today. And someone has to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair them. With Ashworth Career School's convenient home study course, you'll learn how it's done! And it's not as complicated as you might think. Many PC repairs involve easy disassembly followed by quick plug-in replacement of parts. Many other problems are fixed by running diagnostic programs and letting the software guide the work.

In 18 comprehensive lessons, Ashworth will teach how to do repairs and replacements; protect electronic data; manage memory; connect, upgrade, and clean components; correct error messages; and much more. You'll begin by learning the "guts" of the PC: components, motherboard, chips, memory, and power supplies. Next, you'll learn about the hard drive, hard disks, floppy drives, and files. You'll learn to troubleshoot printers, modems, monitors, keyboards, soundboards, CD-ROM drives, and other peripherals. Step by step, the course takes you through the procedures covered in the A+ Certification exam, which is the industry standard for evaluating competency in entry-level PC service. When you graduate, you should have the skills and the knowledge required to take this widely recognized exam.

You need no special educational background or experience in the PC technician field to enroll. Enjoyable home study training from Ashworth makes learning PC repair easy and fun! Request Free Information Package for more information.[ more info ]
