The latest version of CompTIA A+ is CompTIA A+ 2009
Edition. Two exams are necessary to be certified:
CompTIA A+ Essentials, exam code 220-701; and
CompTIA A+ Practical Application, exam code 220-702.
CompTIA A+ Essentials measures
the necessary competencies of an entry-level IT
professional with a recommended 500 hours of
hands-on experience in the lab or field. It tests
for the fundamentals of computer technology,
networking and security, as well as the
communication skills and professionalism now
required of all entry-level IT professionals.
CompTIA A+ Practical Application
is an extension of the knowledge and skills
identified in CompTIA A+ Essentials, with more of a
"hands-on" orientation focused on scenarios in which
troubleshooting and tools must be applied to resolve
problems.
