CompTIA A+ - Entry-Level Computer Service
CompTIA A+® Certification
CompTIA A+ certification is an international industry credential
that validates the knowledge of computer service technicians
with the equivalent of 500 hours of hands-on experience. Major
hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers accept
CompTIA A+ as the standard in foundation-level, vendor-neutral
certification for service technicians. The exams cover a
broad range of hardware
and software technologies, but are not bound to any vendor-specific
products. The skills and knowledge measured by the CompTIA
A+ exams were derived from an industry-wide and worldwide job
task analysis. To date, more than 500,000 individuals have
obtained CompTIA A+ certification.
Earning CompTIA A+ certification proves that a
candidate has a broad base of knowledge and competency in
core hardware and operating system technologies
including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive
maintenance and basic networking.
Industry Support for CompTIA A+®

mandatory for their service technicians. Additionally, more
