Exam Objectives of A+

 

The CompTIA A+ exam consists of two exams - the A+ Core Hardware exam and the A+ OS Technologies exam. Because technology changes, so do our exams.
The CompTIA A+ exam will be upgraded in the late third quarter to early fourth quarter (exact date to be determined) of 2003, but you can still study for and take the current A+ 2001 exams until then.
