      Frequently Asked Questions

      You have questions, and we have all the answers

      No prior experience is needed.

      Multiple-choice (single and multiple response) and performance-based questions

      CompTIA Tech+ covers broad IT fundamentals, while CompTIA A+ is more in-depth, focusing on IT support and troubleshooting. Tech+ is a great starting point before advancing to A+ or Network+.

      An extraordinarily high level of rigor is employed in developing CompTIA certifications. Each question created for a CompTIA exam undergoes multiple layers of quality assurance and thorough psychometric statistical validation, ensuring CompTIA exams are highly representative of knowledge, skills and abilities required of real job roles. This is why CompTIA certifications are a requirement for many professionals working in technology. Hiring managers and candidates alike can be confident that passing a CompTIA certification exam means confidence on the job.  

      All CompTIA certification exams are vendor neutral. This means each exam covers multiple technologies, without confining the candidate to any one platform. Vendor neutrality is important because it ensures IT professionals can perform important job tasks in any technology environment. IT professionals with vendor-neutral certifications can consider multiple solutions in their approach to problem solving, making them more flexible and adaptable than those with training to just one technology.
