CompTIA A+ Certification

The CompTIA A+ certification is an IT certification focusing on hardware break-fix, basic Windows troubleshooting, and computer networking. It provides a solid foundation in the most common subjects that come across an IT helpdesk, and provides a starting point for higher level certifications with more specialization.
I originally pursued my A+ as a qualification for various IT jobs I worked throughout high school and early college. In my currently line of work as a presales engineer, I continue to be grateful to my start in IT since it helps me understand and communicate with technical stakeholders in the buying process.
