CompTIA A+ Certification
CompTIA A+ certification validates the latest skills needed by
today’s computer support professionals. It is an international,
vendor-neutral certification recognized by major hardware and
software vendors, distributors and resellers. CompTIA A+ confirms a
technician's ability to perform tasks such as installation,
configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic
networking. The exams also cover domains such as security, safety
and environmental issues and communication and professionalism.
CompTIA A+ ensures the right people have the right skills. While
many of the essential skills are universal, there are additional
skills required to support the needs of businesses. By offering
certification options for specific job scenarios, CompTIA A+ gives
individuals the ability to grow their careers in a certain area,
and employers the flexibility to choose the exam combination that
best fits their needs.
