CompTIA A+ (PC technician)
For A+ certification, the examinee must pass both this exam
and the A+ Core Hardware exam. This exam measures essential operating system competencies
for desktop computer hardware service technician with six months of on-the-job experience.
The examinee must demonstrate basic knowledge of Command Line Prompt, Windows 9x
and Windows 2000 installing, configuring, upgrading, troubleshooting, and repairing
desktop computer systems.
The skills and knowledge measured by this exam are derived from an industry-level
and worldwide job task analysis which was validated through a survey of almost 2000
A+ certified professionals. The results of the survey are used in weighting the
domains and ensuring that the weighting is representative of the relative importance
of that content to the job requirements of a service technician with six months
on-the-job experience. The intent is to certify individuals in a body of knowledge
that is identified and accepted as the baseline or foundation of an entry-level
PC technician. It is not intended to measure ‘cutting edge’ technologies.
