[Overview] [Benefits] [Requirements]
Overview: A+ is a solid certification that employers look for and is the industry standard for entry-level computer technicians. Every business uses computers and skilled technicians are in demand. An A+ certification opens the door to an exciting career in computer technology.
Having an A+ certification proves that you have a broad base of knowledge and competency in core hardware and operating system technologies including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking.
The CompTIA A+
exam consists of two exams -
the A+ Core Hardware exam and
the A+ OS Technologies exam.
Because technology changes, so
do our exams. The CompTIA A+
exam will be upgraded on
November 26, 2003, but you can
still study for and take the
current A+ 2001 exams until
then.
