CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71) TotalVideo + TotalTester Bundle

Product Overview

Ever had to call a help desk, or a friend who is good with computers? Be your own geek. This CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71) bundle pairs video training with practice questions, and it needs no prior IT experience.

Scott Jernigan, Richard Chapman, and the Total Seminars team deliver 4+ hours of instruction aligned to the official FC0-U71 objectives. The video covers computing devices, hardware, operating systems, applications, networking, cloud concepts, security awareness, troubleshooting, databases, and basic programming.

TotalTester then checks whether it has stuck, with 300+ questions in the format the exam actually uses. Each module maps to a competency the exam tests. Get certified the best way, with TotalVideo and TotalTester.

• Applies to the current CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71) exam
• TotalVideo: 4+ hours of video training across 14 chapters and 73 lessons, plus an exam orientation section
• TotalTester: 300+ multiple-choice questions with hints and answer explanations
• Covers all six official exam domains, including artificial intelligence in objective 3.5

Certification Alignment

Both components map to all six official CompTIA Tech+ (FC0-U71) exam domains. The exam breaks down as follows.

• IT Concepts and Terminology (13%) — notational systems, units of measure, and the troubleshooting methodology
• Infrastructure (24%) — computing devices, internal components, storage, peripherals, networking, and wireless
• Applications and Software (18%) — operating systems, file management, productivity software, browsers, and artificial intelligence
• Software Development Concepts (13%) — programming languages, data types, and logic concepts
• Data and Database Fundamentals (13%) — the value of data, database structures, and backup concepts
• Security (19%) — security frameworks, device security, passwords, encryption, and wireless settings

Infrastructure and Security together make up more than 40% of the exam. Notably, the Applications and Software domain now includes artificial intelligence, covering AI chatbots, AI assistants, and generative AI.

Career Impact

CompTIA positions Tech+ as a pre-professional certification for advanced end users. Therefore it works as a first credential rather than a specialist one.

• Prepares you for roles such as IT Support Specialist, Help Desk Technician, and Technical Support Analyst
• Also suits business professionals and students who want stronger, provable digital literacy
• Gives career changers a recognized first step into technology without prior experience
• Leads naturally to CompTIA A+ and the professional certification path beyond it

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this bundle, you can do the following.

• Explain computing basics, notational systems, units of measure, and the structured troubleshooting methodology.
• Identify common computing devices, internal components, peripheral hardware, and storage types.
• Configure wireless networks, compare internet service types, and apply cloud and virtualization concepts.
• Navigate operating systems, manage files, and install and manage application software.
• Configure web browser features and recognize common uses of artificial intelligence.
• Explain the value of data, compare database structures, and apply backup and recovery concepts.
• Recognize security threats, apply best practices, and secure a small wireless network.

Prerequisites

No prior IT experience is required. Basic familiarity with using a computer is enough, because the video builds foundational knowledge step by step. CompTIA recommends the exam for high school students and non-IT professionals.

This bundle suits beginners with little or no IT background and career changers exploring entry-level technology roles. Students and business professionals who want stronger digital literacy also do well here. TotalTester needs a Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux computer, because iOS and Android are not supported.
