Healthcare IT Technician Certification Preparation Prerequisites: While there are no strict prerequisites, CompTIA intends the Healthcare IT Technician certificate to serve as an add-on to the CompTIA A+ certification. In this three (3) day lecture and lab course, students will identify essential healthcare and IT concepts and terminology and how to integrate the two realms of practice. The typical student for this course is an experienced IT professional in a role such as desktop support technician, network administrator, systems administrator, or database administrator, who is looking for opportunities within the healthcare industry or may already be working within the healthcare industry. Such students want to prove through certification that they have the knowledge and skills required to implement, deploy, and support healthcare IT systems. Cost includes instruction, text, and testing voucher.
