about the A+ certification

Although the focus changes every year, I am responsible for monitoring certification performance so that the organization can course-correct as needed. I work with industry to drive certification adoption, collaborate with sales to ensure our customers and partners have what they need, and support marketing efforts focused on building awareness of the value of certification.

Let’s talk a bit about the A+ certification. Why did CompTIA feel the time was right to update it?

Part of monitoring the health of the certification is a regular review of the job roles that we certify. While our review includes things like jobs, data analysis, and research reports, we also engage hundreds of IT professionals in the review and refresh of the A+ certification. What we continue to hear is that the rapid changes in cloud, virtualization, IoT, and cybersecurity impact the technical support role and subsequently the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform on-the-job. As the job role changes, so does A+.

The CompTIA A+ 900 series (English language) will retire July 31, 2019. Exam translations in all other languages will retire December 2019. Individuals preparing to take the 900 series must complete both 901 and 902 before retirement. It is not possible to mix versions, so an individual cannot take 901 & 1002 and get certified.

Tech Industry Takes the Lead in Redefining Work

One common theme during the pandemic has been an acceleration in the changes taking place at work. Whether it is cloud adoption, remote working or general workforce practices, the rapid response to restrictions has driven new thinking about long-term operations. Many tech firms have been out in front when it comes to redefining how work gets done. Examples include: Major companies such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Microsoft extending remote work policies until the end of the year or indefinitely. Tech firms such as Zoom, Uber, Snap and Pinterest joining a coalition aimed at improving conditions for working parents. Salesforce launching work.com as a resource to help businesses reopen safely. Most businesses realize that digital transformation is only partially about the technology. The real key to transformation is changing workflow and culture. Technology tools open up new possibilities, but the full potential is not realized if the processes and behavior stay the same. No one kn

Questions a+ certification

As always, CompTIA exams like to really test how well you follow instructions. Read the questions slowly and thoroughly. Then read the question again. I found myself flustered with a very simple question. Here’s what happened: On the 902 exam, one of the interactive questions asked to configure a new disk while accounting for future redundancy. Simple enough! So I went to initialize it and set the partitions as requested. There was a second disk available. I tried to configure a mirrored array. CompTIA simulations are very limited and won’t let you really click on a wrong answer. I couldn’t configure a mirrored array and got frustrated. I flagged the question for later to avoid wasting time. At last I returned with forty minutes left to answer. Suddenly, my error come apparent. They asked me to configure the disk for future redundancy, not redundancy right now. I set it to a dynamic disk and called it a day. This is the kind of stuff they love to throw at you in a CompTIA exam. A few
