CompTIA A+ Certification

The CompTIA A+ Certification is the industry standard for validating the foundational skills needed by technicians in today’s digital world. Support professionals do more than fix PCs; they need to understand how applications work across platforms and solve problems that help businesses run smoothly.

Several recent updates to the CompTIA A+ Certification have taken into account the growing importance of topics such as cybersecurity, privacy, IoT, scripting, virtualization, and cloud computing.

In order to become a CompTIA A+ Certified Professional, you must pass two exams: CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam 220-1001 and CompTIA A+ Core 2 Exam 220-1002.
