Now Available – The New CompTIA A+ Core Series

CompTIA A+ is the preferred qualifying credential for technical support and IT operational roles. A+ certified professionals identify issues and problem-solve more effectively than those without certification.

• Assemble components based on customer requirements
• Install, configure and maintain devices, PCs and software for end users
• Understand the basics of networking and security, including forensics
• Apply troubleshooting skills to diagnose, resolve and document common hardware and software issues
• Provide appropriate customer support
• Understand the basics of virtualization, desktop imaging and deployment

Exam Domains

CompTIA A+ is accredited by ANSI as meeting the ISO/IEC 17024 standard and is approved by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to fulfill Directive 8570.01-M requirements.

What’s New with the Core Series

The new CompTIA A+ 220-1001 & 220-1002 Core Series includes expanded content on these growing parts of the IT support role:

• A general expansion of baseline security topics core to the IT support role, including physical versus logical security concepts and measures, malware and more
• A dramatically different approach in defining competency in operational procedures including basic disaster prevention and recovery and scripting basics
• A greater dependency on networking and device connectivity

In order to receive CompTIA A+ certification, a candidate must pass both the CompTIA A+ 220-1001 & 220-1002 (Core 1 & Core 2) exams.
