WGU course completion

D316 IT Foundations (ITEC 2013, 4 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the first half of WGU's CompTIA A+ course pair: term 2 of all four Cloud and Network Engineering tracks and the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and term 4 of the B.S. Information Technology and its accelerated BSIT-to-MSIT path. Hardware, operating systems, networks, and security troubleshooting, with the catalog stating the course prepares learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam. Coursework Ninja completes D316 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does D317 IT Applications, the Core 2 half of the A+ pair, cover?
Per WGU's published description, IT Foundations builds an understanding of personal computer components and their functions in a desktop system and a knowledge of computer data storage and retrieval, then turns that knowledge into skill: classifying, installing, configuring, optimizing, upgrading, and troubleshooting printers, laptops, portable devices, operating systems, networks, and system security. The course also covers recommending appropriate tools, diagnostic procedures, and preventative maintenance, strategies for identifying, preventing, and reporting safety hazards and environmental or human accidents, and the effective communication and job-related professional behavior expected with colleagues and clients. The description closes with the sentence that explains the course's shape: it prepares learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 certification exam.
Seven catalog tables carry D316, and the placement tells the story. All four Cloud and Network Engineering tracks and the cybersecurity degree schedule it in term 2, right after the Introduction to IT opener. The B.S. Information Technology and its accelerated path place it in term 4. One term later in every shared table sits D317 IT Applications, the Core 2 half of the same A+ pair. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report a proctored objective exam for IT Foundations, consistent with its certification alignment. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries, the proctoring stack included when required.
The description's core: PC components and their functions, data storage and retrieval, and the install, configure, optimize, upgrade, and troubleshoot cycle across printers, laptops, portable devices, operating systems, networks, and system security. Breadth is the trap: the assessment samples every device family, not just the one you support at work.
Tools, diagnostic procedures, and preventative maintenance carry their own scoring weight, and so do the rows candidates skip: identifying, preventing, and reporting safety hazards, and the effective-communication and professional-behavior expectations with colleagues and clients. Answers written from bench habit alone miss those rows.
The catalog states D316 prepares learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 certification exam, and D317 covers the Core 2 half one term later. Industry certification exams run on the vendor's own testing service with its own identity checks, separate from WGU course assessments; the exact scope for cert-linked courses is confirmed in writing at intake, before you pay.
In every table that carries both courses, the catalog places IT Foundations exactly one term ahead of IT Applications. Clearing D316 on schedule is what keeps D317, and the certification path behind it, inside the same pair of terms instead of a third.
D316 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the seven tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
The students who stall on IT Foundations usually already work in IT. The assessment does not grade the job you do; it grades the full hardware and troubleshooting map. These are the stalls we take over most often.
