How much time will students need to prepare for Tech+?

Why would I teach Tech+ over other certifications?
Tech+ is the only training and certification that covers all areas of tech foundations which makes it ideal for non-tech professionals. And, if tech doesn’t feel right for them, it will help them decide that too. Tech+ is designed to help students determine if they have a competency for tech and if it’s the right career path for them.
Additionally, Tech+ is a vendor-neutral certification, which means that the knowledge and skills you learn can be used to perform various job roles regardless of the specific programs and tools being used. Vendor-specific certifications, on the other hand, only prepare you to work with just one platform.
