Sounds like the A+ certification is going to be a good starting point for you. Besides working in the industry; the resources that helped me pass the exam are: Professor Messer IT Training Videos, CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide: Exams 220-901 and 220-902 3rd Edition, access to practice tests, and as much hands on experience as you can get.
In my opinion, the best place to start would be to pick up a CompTIA A+ book. I believe the most current versions are the 901&902 (included in a single book).
This is where I started before getting into the IT field. It may be a little overwhelming at first, but this book will do a great job covering a lot of the fundamentals and logic in computing.
Also if your boyfriend feels comfortable after reading this book, he can take the certification test. An A+ certificate looks great when looking for an internship or entry level IT job.
Best of luck!
You can get the CompTIA certifications through self study. Took me 1 month and this book to get mine.
It took me about 3 months to get my Net+ (but I wasn't studying everyday like I did with the A+), using this book.
Both will help you in sprucing up your resume for applying to IT jobs and will only cost you the books and the exam costs. Best of luck out there!
This course looks like its an edition behind- which isn't a bit deal I think. Latest edition for A+ is 220-901 and 220-902 and course is 220-801 and 220-802.
You can probably buy a study guide instead of looking into a course. Here is the one I am reading (I can't comment on if this is the best, as its the only one I am using so far): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1119137853/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Generally though if you just need knowledge just reading the study guide without taking the test seems good. Certs aren't highly valued. Up to you and what you want of course.
I used the Sybex book.

These are the first three hits I get when I searched Amazon with the following: comptia a 220-901 and 220-902.
Results can be found here
I can at least vouch for two books I used to help pass mine.
This one I found to be very thorough, but also can be a bit of a slog to read if you're starting from scratch. While not as in depth this one helped me with some parts I was fuzzy on, as it put it into much simpler terms. Also for practice tests I can definitely recommend total seminars.
Check out CompTIA's website. In college, I only took a prep class for the A+ and then taking the test itself was a independent affair (although the college was also an official testing facility, but it just required scheduling of your own, not facilitated by the college). The class was fine but I also spent a good few weeks on my own with this book, which was just as good as taking the prep class. I'd probably just spend $30 on the book and study on your own.
You might be able to find free study material online, it may be out of date though. But no, not free for good guides that will help:

Sure thing, the Comptia certs do cost some money, I know some high schools/community colleges have reimbursement programs for them so that may be looking into in your local area. As far as study material I used these: A+, Security+, Linux+. PDF's of these books can be found online from various sources as well.
For exam practice I used a VCE exam player application and whichever vce file had the best rating per exam from examcollection. Hope that helps!
I actually knew the 800 exams were retired. I was planning on getting either this or this, which are both study guides for the 901 and 902 exams. Which one do you recommend on getting?
