Yes. We offer a proven 30-day roadmap that gets students exam-ready. Students who follow the accelerated plan (daily focused study + labs + Cert Sniper drills), a 14-day pass is absolutely achievable. Pick the pace that fits your schedule: the curriculum, simulators, and practice exams work for both sprint and steady approaches.

Core 2 builds on Core 1 concepts (OS, security, troubleshooting workflows), but you don’t have to have passed Core 1 first. But you MUST pass both to be considered A+ certified. If you already have the Core 1 fundamentals, you’ll move faster. If not, our Core 2 modules include refreshers and hands-on labs so beginners can still master the material, the roadmap fills the gaps so you’re never lost.

Core 2 focuses on operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, scripting basics, and professional practice, the skills employers actually test for in desktop support and helpdesk roles. Passing Core 2 signals you can handle real-world software and security issues, which makes your resume far more attractive to hiring managers and increases job opportunities.

You get performance-based simulators that replicate real helpdesk scenarios: OS installs, patching, access control, malware removal, and troubleshooting workflows. These labs mirror the exam’s PBQs so exam day feels familiar. Practicing in the simulator builds muscle memory — not just theory — so you perform under pressure.

You’re covered. The program includes practice benchmarks, two exam vouchers, and Exam Pass Assurance. If you complete the roadmap, hit the practice milestones, and still miss the mark, we provide targeted remediation and coaching so you retake with confidence.

For the 30-day roadmap: plan on 8–10 focused hours per week (daily 60–90 minute blocks). For the accelerated 14-day track: expect 4–6 focused hours per day. Each study block includes short lessons, simulator practice, Cert Sniper drills for time-pressured questions, and a timed practice exam.

With Core 2 completed you’re qualified for roles like Help Desk Technician, Desktop Support, IT Support Specialist, and Junior Systems Administrator. Employers prioritize A+ when hiring entry-level tech staff — with the cert plus hands-on experience you’ll open doors to more interviews and higher starting pay. Students who combine Core 1 + Core 2 typically see a significant jump in interview invites and job offers.
