CompTIA A+ is the industry standard for establishing a career in Information Technology (IT) and is the preferred qualifying credential for technical support and IT operational roles. It is about much more than PC repair. Candidates are better prepared to troubleshoot and problem solve, and technicians better understand a wide variety of issues ranging from networking and operating systems to mobile devices and security.
