- Software troubleshooting to diagnose and resolve software issues in complex environments while maintaining system functionality and minimizing downtime.
- Understanding robust networking solutions, including VPNs and secure remote access, along with the ability to connect, configure and troubleshoot a wide array of network devices.
Along with the updated certification exams, new CompTIA’s A+ learning products, including CertMaster Perform, CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Practice, have been released. These resources help learners master the essential skills required for IT support roles using videos, interactives and a comprehensive set of hands-on labs organized in a research-backed learning progression framework. These resources support a variety of learning styles and preferences, whether it’s self-study or instructor-led training.
More than 1.3 million CompTIA A+ certifications have been awarded to IT professionals around the world. CompTIA A+ has widespread recognition and use in many industry sectors. The certification maps to several work roles in both the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity and the Department of Defense Cyber Workforce Framework.
