CompTIA A+ certifica le abilità di un tecnico nell' installazione, configurazione, diagnostica, implementazione e manutenzione dei sistemi Operativi. La CompTIA A+ è una grossa opportunità di crescita professionale e di certificazione delle proprie competenze tecniche sistemistiche.
La certificazione CompTIA A+ si sviluppa in tre differenti percorsi. Tutti i candidati devono ottenere la certificazione CompTIA A+ Essentials (esame 220-601), per poi scegliere il proprio percorso in base alla qualifica che si intende ottenere:

I potenziali profili sono amministratori IT, tecnici PC e tecnici Field Service (coloro che prestano la loro opera sia stabilmente nelle imprese che a domicilio), oltre a profili non tecnici che richiedono semplicemente la conoscenza dei problemi di riparazione dei computer. L’esame richiesto per ottenere questa qualifica è il 220-602.
2) Remote Support Technician
Per i tecnici di supporto a distanza, responsabili della gestione e manutenzione remota dell’infrastruttura IT del cliente. Un tecnico a distanza lavora spesso in un ambiente di call center in cui risolve i problemi di connettività e del sistema operativo tramite telefono o Internet. L’esame richiesto per questa qualifica è il 220-603.
3) Depot Technician
Si occupa essenzialmente di risolvere problemi di hardware. Il Tecnico Hardware generalmente cura l'installazione, la configurazione e la manutenzione di PC e periferiche all'interno dell'azienda. L’esame richiesto è il 220-604.
