How is each course taught?
All courses are online and self-paced, meaning you do it in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace and best of all… any where in the world, providing you have access to a laptop, PC or desktop computer, and an internet connection. Each lesson is pre-recorded allowing you to pause, fast-forward, skip sections, or go back to another lesson if you need to. The lessons are multi-media based, which means video and audio are used to teach the lessons. Your tutor will PowerPoint slides, illustrations, diagrams and give demonstrations to teach each class.  Most lessons are also interactive, prompting the learner to participate. This might involve answering on-screen questions, participating in tasks.
Learn what the CompTIA Network+ alone can do for your career.
How long will it take me to complete each course?
As mentioned above, our courses are self-paced. Â Some people finish their course faster than others. Â Each certification course is between 12-30 hours. If you choose to only do one of the certification courses from this bundle, then it will take you less time than if you do two or three or all of them. Â No matter what though, you will always have 12 months to complete your course.
How do I book my exams?
When you’re ready to sit your exams, email support@hudsoncourses.com with your request along with the title of the exam you wish to take. We will then send you an email with instructions on how to complete your exam booking. The exams for this course must be sat at your local test center, which we will locate for you.
What do I need?
All you need is an internet connection and a device, such as a smart phone, tablet, laptop or PC, and an internet connection. To get the most out of the course, we recommend you access it using either a laptop or desktop computer through Google Chrome.
Upon completion of this course, you’ll receive five CompTIA ‘Acclaim’ badges that you can add to your CV or social media profile for prospective employers to see. You’ll also receive five official CompTIA certifications. Click the image above to learn more about CompTIA Acclaim badges.
How does this course bundle work?
This course bundle is made up of four main resources as shown below. Each certification course has as its own set of resources, i.e. 1 x video based course (official CompTIA material), 1 x live lab, 1 x MeasureUP or Kaplan practice exam, 1 x official CompTIA exam (excluding CompTIA IT Fundamentals). Each resource is designed to work in conjunction with each other to ensure the successful path to certification. You will complete one course and exam, then repeat the process for the remaining courses. Read below to learn more about the resources that make up the course.
  Official CompTIA Video Content
Access to official CompTIA video based online learning material. Tutors use diagrams and illustrations to teach the classes, as well as giving demonstrations. Lessons are pre-recorded allowing you to fast-forward, rewind and pause at any time throughout the lessons. Videos can be viewed on different devices including a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and smart phone.
 Live Labs
The hands-on live practice labs allow you to experience practical application of course concepts in an authentic online environment 24/7, all from the comfort of your home or office. The lab environment allows you to test and apply your skills as you learn. These labs also come with tasks challenging what you have learnt. To learn more about practice labs, click here.
 MeasureUP Practice Tests
After working your way through each course and practice labs, you should be ready to start revising for your official exams. To do this, we provide you with MeasureUP or Kaplan practice tests. These one of the closest experiences to the actual exam you’ll be taking.
 Official CompTIA Exams
Having confidently passed the practice tests, you will be ready to sit the official exams – which we will book on your behalf. You must complete each course before taking an exam. Once you have passed the necessary exams for each course, you will receive the certification for that course.
