What you will receive

Being CompTIA A+ certified means that you understand the innovative fundamentals of computer hardware and software, and how to troubleshoot a wide range of devices. The certification does not focus on vendor-specific hardware and software, builds the foundation of tech knowledge with the technology vocabulary you need on your career path in-demand areas such as computer networking and cybersecurity. In addition, A+ holds ISO/ANSI accreditation status, which means that employers trust your certification worldwide.

The CompTIA A+ exams include a combination of multiple-choice questions, drag-and-drop activities, and performance-based items. The multiple-choice questions are single and multiple response. Performance-based items test your ability to solve problems in a simulated environment, which is why CompTIA A+ is recognized as a performance certification. When taking exams, it’s important to manage your time wisely. Most of the performance-based questions will appear at the beginning of the exam, and you won’t be able to see a clock when working on each one.
You will have 90 minutes to complete each of the exams. This does not include the time necessary to check in at the testing center – so plan to arrive a little bit early.
If you fail your first (1st) attempt to pass any CompTIA certification examination, CompTIA does not require any waiting period between the first (1st) and second (2nd) attempt to pass such examination. 14 days for any failed exam after that.
