1.0 – What would this certification do for me?

Quote:
CompTIA A+® Certification
CompTIA A+ certification validates the latest skills needed by today’s computer support professionals. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification recognized by major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers. CompTIA A+ confirms a technician's ability to perform tasks such as installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking. The exams also cover domains such as security, safety and environmental issues and communication and professionalism.


Quote:
CompTIA A+ ensures the right people have the right skills. While many of the essential skills are universal, there are additional skills required to support the needs of businesses. By offering certification options for specific job scenarios, CompTIA A+ gives individuals the ability to grow their careers in a certain area, and employers the flexibility to choose the exam combination that best fits their needs.

Quote:
CompTIA A+ is part of the certification track for corporations such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Novell. Other technology companies, including CompuCom and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification mandatory for their service technicians.


2.0 – Site links

3.0 – How do I schedule this exam?

Edit 10/18/11 by hackman2007: TestKing is a known braindump site and should not be used by anyone otherwise you could lose your certification and the ability to take future tests from CompTIA.

Oooh, excellent.

This will be great for me! >D

This is going to be awesome.

Edit: Wow, the prep tests on the websites listed by Sheldon is ridiculously easy.

However, I did learn a few things I didn't know about...

That IS useful.
