Graymark - Commander

The Commander is a complete system for students wanting a career in computer service and repair. Students who successfully complete the course are equipped with an impressive inventory of high-level, hands-on performance-based skills, and they are ready for the knowledge-based A+ Certification Exam!

CompTIA A+ Certification Program
The A+ Certification program is an industry-wide, vendor-neutral program developed and sponsored by The Computing Technology Industry Association. The Commander is a comprehensive computer training system designed for the industry standard A+ Certification.

The Commander Training System accomplishes its objective through three interrelated elements:

Student Trainer
Instructor's Package
PC Service Tool Set

STUDENT TRAINER
The Commander Trainer, pictured above, is a fully-loaded, workplace-quality computer in kit form. The Student PC Instruction Manual contains clear, well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions for:

Hardware Assembly, Configuration and Testing
Software Installation, Configuration and Use

After completing the PC Instruction Manual, the student progresses to the Student PC Troubleshooting & Repair Manual, where he/she learns to analyze and diagnose PC problems. Following completion of this phase, the instructor inserts student-transparent faults to assess the student's troubleshooting skills.
