Always wanted to build your own computer? Always wish you knew how to fix the basic maintenance issues on your machine? Join UASCE for A+ training with a twist - you as a student help design, choose and shop for computer components and then build a computer in class - and then keep it! The cost of the computer is included in the tuition cost. Also included in the tuition is expert, hands-on instruction and preparation and review for the A+ certification exams, with testing available at UA South after class ends. Tuition in 2007 includes two exam vouchers.

If your funding agency does not allow you to receive a computer from the class, you may deduct $400 from the above posted tuition. UASCE will provide you with a computer during class to disassemble/assemble. Enroll now! Class size is extremely limited to ensure a quality learning environment.
