CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) Certification
A+ is the starting line for IT careers, and it requires passing two separate exams. Core 1 covers hardware, networking, and mobile devices. Core 2 covers operating systems, security, and troubleshooting methodology. Our 4,000-question bank covers both exams in a single app, with separate practice test modes for each.
A+ requires two separate exams. You must pass both to earn the certification.
