CompTIA is one of the world’s best-known certification bodies in Information Technology. Founded in 1982, CompTIA (The Computer Technology Industry Association) was one of the first certification bodies. Its vendor-neutral approach helps CompTIA to focus on what skills a technology worker needs, as opposed to what a vendor might want to advertise. Recognized in over 120 countries, CompTIA has issued over 2 million IT certifications.
According to the 2020 Dice Salary Survey, the average help desk support worker makes 50,009 USD.

A: Professionals with 9 to 12 months of hands-on experience in the lab or field would benefit the most from this certification.
A: Employers hiring technology workers want A+ certified employees because they actually understand how hardware and operating system choices shape the way we work and use our technology.
A: Three years, though you can renew it by earning Continuing Education Units.
A: There are several ways; earn a higher CompTIA certification, earn certification from another CompTIA-approved vendor, retake and pass your highest exam, teach classes in the subject area, write papers, take additional training, and more.
A: The exam contains a maximum of 90 questions. Roughly the first five questions are Performance-Based Questions (PBQs).
A: They simulate real-world tasks. You may have to identify internal hardware components, place networking hardware into a diagram, troubleshoot IP addressing, or perform basic command-line tasks.
A: A+ is one of the most comprehensive certifications covering all aspects of our devices from hardware to operating systems. It builds on that to teach essential networking and security skills.
When you enroll in a live A+ Bootcamp, you’ll spend [three/four] days with an instructor who is an expert in the field. You can ask questions, discuss concepts, receive advice on the exam, and your career.
