CompTIA’s New A+ Exams
by Brent on Mar.12, 2007, under A+, CompTIA
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) made major changes to the CompTIA A+ certification program. Up until June last year, there were only two A+ exams, the 220-301 Core Hardware exam and the 220-302 Operating System (OS) exam. The new A+ certification program now has four exams; the 220-601 A+ Essentials exam, the 220-602 IT Technician exam, the 220-603 Remote Support Technician exam and the 220-604 Depot Technician exam. Fortunately, you still require passing two exams to obtain your A+ certification, but you do have a choice. All A+ candidates must pass the 220-601 A+ Essentials exam, which covers both hardware and operating systems, but then there is the choice of the 220-602 IT Technician exam, the 220-603 Remote Support Technician exam and the 220-604 Depot Technician exam.
