About CompTIA A+ Certification | |||||||||||||
The CompTIA A+ certification exam was developed in 1993 at the request of the information technology (IT) industry. Major corporations needed a way to validate the skills of entry-level technicians and reduce the costs associated with hiring, recruiting and training employees. These corporations turned to CompTIA to lead the development of the A+ certification program. Hands-on service
technicians used their real-world experience to define the A+ test content
and computer service experts developed the A+ exam questions. A multi-level
review process ensures that the A+ exam questions are accurate and psychometrically
sound. |
