A+ Certification
is a CompTIA-sponsored testing program that certifies
the competency of
entry-level (6 months experience) computer service technicians. The A+ test
contains situational, traditional, and identification types of questions. All
of the questions are multiple choice with only one correct answer for each
question. The test covers a broad range of hardware and software technologies,
but is not bound to any vendor-specific products.
The program is
backed by major computer hardware and software vendors, distributors, resellers
and publications. A+ certification signifies that the certified individual
possesses the knowledge and skills essential for a successful entry-level (6
months experience) computer service technician, as defined by experts from
companies across the industry.

To date, over 350,000 people have obtained the
