The CompTIA A+ certification process consists of 2 exams:

CompTIA A+ 220-801 covers the fundamentals of computer technology, installation and configuration of PCs, laptops and related hardware, and basic networking.

CompTIA A+ 220-802 covers the skills required to install and configure PC operating systems, as well as configuring common features (e.g. network connectivity and email) for mobile operating systems Android and Apple iOS).

Once you have completed the CompTIA A+, then consider the CompTIA Network+ and Operating System courses like Windows 7.

A combination of these courses will give you the skills employers are looking for to work in a 1st line support environment. 1st Line Support is where you will find the bulk of entry level IT jobs.
