Kickstart Your IT Career with ASM Educational Center

If you’re looking to start a career in IT, earning your CompTIA A+ certification is the essential first step. It’s the industry’s most recognized entry-level credential — but not all training centers provide the same results.

At ASM Educational Center in Rockville, Maryland, students receive far more than test prep. They gain hands-on technical skills, real troubleshooting experience, and one-on-one mentorship from certified instructors. For over 33 years, ASM has helped students in Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, and the greater DC area launch rewarding IT careers.

Why Choose ASM for CompTIA A+ Training

2. Small Class Sizes for Personalized Attention
Each class is intentionally limited in size so every student receives individual guidance, lab support, and direct feedback from certified instructors who specialize in teaching beginners.

3. High First-Time Pass Rate with Free Retake Option

Student Testimonial

“Always a good experience at ASM. The staff members are very friendly and helpful — especially Hamed and Adrienne. I took three classes here: CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+.
