No. Core 1 is built for beginners. We start with the basics hardware, mobile devices, networking, troubleshooting and layer skills in a way that makes sense. Even if you have zero experience, our hands-on labs and simulators will give you the confidence to learn by doing.

Core 1 focuses on hardware, devices, and basic networking, the physical and technical foundation of IT. Core 2 builds on that with operating systems, security, and troubleshooting. By passing Core 1 first, you’ll have the entry-level skills employers demand and you’ll be 77% more likely to pass Core 2.

Most people fail because they lack structure and real-world practice. With our full certification roadmap, performance-based simulators, and real practice exams, you’ll study smarter, not harder. Plus, our Exam Pass Assurance adds an extra voucher, to give you a safety net.

They let you practice like you’re already in the field. You’ll build and troubleshoot PCs, mobile devices, and networks in a simulated environment, the same types of performance-based questions (PBQs) you’ll see on the exam. That way, nothing surprises you on test day.

Passing Core 1 is your first big step into IT. Once fully A+ certified, you’ll qualify for roles like IT Support Specialist, Help Desk Tech, Desktop Support, and Junior Network Technician. These jobs pay $45K–$65K+
