CompTIA A+ is the industry standard for launching IT careers into today’s digital world. It is performance-based, trusted by employers worldwide, regularly re-invented by IT experts, and offers a complete skills development solution.

• Network Operations Center – Network Admin, Systems Admin, Data Center Manager
• IT Applilcations Support – Systems Analyst, Business Analyst, Ops Analyst
WHAT’S NEW?
The CompTIA A+ certification you earned is very much different from the new CompTIA A+ Core Series. The new Core Series focuses on enabling end users and devices to securely access the data needed to complete a task.
• IoT is expanded with both device hardware and device connectivity addressed
• Scripting is introduced as an important technical support tool
• Cloud and virtualization get a dedicated domain
• Troubleshooting and problem solving for real-time IT support challenges
CORE SKILLS
To be a CompTIA A+ Certified, the candidate is required to pass two exams: Core 1 (220-1001) and Core 2 (220-1002). Core skills covered in these exams:
• Hardware – PCs and mobile devices, hardware components, IoT and embedded systems

Expansion of baseline security topics and a different approach to defining competency in operational procedures, addresses a wide array of technical issues in a complex IT environment.
