About
CompTIA A+® Certification
The CompTIA A+ certification exam was developed in 1993
at the request of the IT industry; major corporations
needed a way to validate the skills of entry-level technicians.
CompTIA recruited Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from more
than 20 companies to create the standards and objectives
of CompTIA A+. Hands-on service technicians used their
real-world experience to define the test content, while
computer service experts developed the exam questions.
Thirteen years later, more than 700,000 technicians
certified worldwide, CompTIA A+ is still seen by the
technology community as the perfect entry into an IT
career.
CompTIA A+ validates knowledge and competency in core
hardware and operating system technologies, including
installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive
maintenance and basic networking. CompTIA A+ certification
also confirms awareness of security, safety and environmental
issues, as well as basic communication skills and professional
etiquette. The certification objectives were updated
in 2003 and also in 2006.
