CBT Planet presents one of our highly-rated computer training books with a focus on exam preparation, the HTI+ study guide.

This comprehensive training course has a rating of 4.8/5.0 in overall quality from ProCert Labs. It is suitable for anyone who is preparing for either of the CompTIA HTI+ exams: Residential Systems and Systems Infrastructure and Integration.

By following the HTI+ courseware, you will about the design, configuration, and installation of home networks. You will also learn about low voltage and high voltage wiring, how to install and configure both audio and video components, and how to install and set up security systems.

The study guide teaches you about the installation and configuration of telecommunications systems as well as lighting control systems, and about the management of heating, ventilation, and a/c systems.

Other topics include window and door systems, water control systems, automated interior furnishings, and lift systems. Because this HTI+ courseware is focused on preparing your for your certification exams, we've included the CertBlaster pre-assessment and post-assessment software.

This course is divided into fourteen units and should take the typical student about two days to work through on their own. Of course, because it is a self-directed study program, you can take as long as you need to master the material and prepare for your certification exams.

Courseware Objectives
