Ascend Education’s Cloud Training Course is designed to cover CompTIA’sCloud+ exam objectives and prepare students to enter the workforce with essential cloud computing skills. This course includes five modules. Each module contains written instruction, video instruction, and virtual training labs. Labs are designed to give a “hands on” learning experience. Additionally, practice quizzes are integrated into each module. Students should take each quiz to test what they have learned. After students have completed the course, they should spend time reviewing the material and practicing in the virtual lab environment in order to solidify what they have learned. Students should then take a practice exam (included with this course) and consider sitting for the CompTIA Cloud+ Certification exam.
