C)OST Certified Operating Systems Technician badge

The Certified Operating Systems Technician, C)OST course builds on the C)HT course by focusing on operating systems; this includes installing, configuring and maintaining devices, PCs, and software for end users; understanding the basics of networking and security/forensics from the operating system view. Properly and safely diagnose, resolve, and document common software issues. Apply troubleshooting skills, and providing appropriate customer support.
