CompTIA A+ Quiz Application Demo

This project is for educational and portfolio purposes only.

Description

This Python quiz application was built as a portfolio project to demonstrate hands-on programming skills, especially in the context of IT certification preparation. While the structure and logic mirror what an actual CompTIA A+ certification quiz would be like, the questions used in this version are not real exam questions due to copyright restrictions. They are sample placeholders that can be swapped out with official content by authorised parties if needed.

Why this project?

I built this as a Capstone-style portfolio project that:

• Combines real certification structure with hands-on Python
• Highlights key IT domains I've studied and have certifications for, among others I'm proficient in but don't have a certification to show for it, yet, including:
  • CompTIA A+
  • CompTIA Network+
  • CompTIA Security+
  • Google Data Analytics
  • Codecademy Python, SQL, R, Neural Networks, customising and building local network GPTs certificates
