What's new in the latest CompTIA A+ series exam launch


The new 1101 and 1102 CompTIA A+ Core Series includes expanded content on the growing parts of the IT support role:

Overview

  • A general expansion of baseline security topics core to the IT support role, including physical versus logical security concepts and measures, malware, and more

  • A dramatically different approach to defining competency in operational procedures including basic disaster prevention and recovery and scripting basics

  • A greater dependency on networking and device connectivity

Focus areas on supporting:

  • Increased reliance on SaaS applications for remote work

  • More on troubleshooting and how to remotely diagnose and correct common software, hardware, or connectivity problems

  • Changing core technologies from cloud virtualization and IoT device security to data management and scripting

  • Multiple operating systems are now encountered by technicians on a regular basis, including the major systems, their use cases, and how to keep them running properly

  • Reflects the changing nature of the job role, where many tasks are sent to specialized providers as certified personnel need to assess whether it’s best to fix something on-site, or to save time and money by sending proprietary technologies directly to vendors
