Introduction
In order to receive CompTIA A+ certification a candidate must pass two exams. The first exam is
CompTIA A+ Essentials. The CompTIA A+ Essentials Examination measures necessary competencies for
an entry-level IT professional with the equivalent knowledge of at least 500 hours of hands-on experience
in the lab or field. Hands-on experience or equivalent knowledge includes installing, building, upgrading,
repairing, configuring, troubleshooting, optimizing, diagnosing, and performing preventive maintenance of
basic personal computer hardware and operating systems.
CompTIA recently convened a core of CompTIA A+ subject matter experts representing a diverse group of
employers, educators and IT professionals which resulted in the revised CompTIA A+ examinations
objectives. The skills and knowledge measured by these objectives were validated through a survey of
more then 5,000 CompTIA A+ certified professionals and employers. The results of the survey were used
in weighting the domains and ensuring that the weighting is representative of the relative importance of that
content to the job requirements of an entry-level IT professional. 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 IT
professional.
This examination blueprint includes domain weighting, test objectives, and example content. Example
topics and concepts are included to clarify the test objectives and should not be construed as a
comprehensive listing of all the content of this examination.
The table below lists the domains measured by this examination and the extent to which they are
represented. CompTIA A+ Essentials (2007 Edition) exams are based on these objectives.
