CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) training and certification exam preparation centre
If your work involves keeping production systems configured, patched and available, CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) is the CompTIA exam that puts a credential against it. CompTIA certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is an entry-level credential: it checks you understand the core concepts before you take on day-to-day tasks. Most candidates take it because a current or target employer treats it as evidence for keeping production systems configured, patched and available.
Training combines live teaching with hands-on administration tasks built from the CompTIA objective list, so the exam covers ground you have already worked through. Preparation assumes some hands-on exposure and concentrates on closing the gaps that cost marks.
The listed fee is USD 250; booked through WebAsha it is USD 149, a 10% saving. CompTIA sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Exam length, question count, passing score and validity are set by CompTIA and change between revisions, so confirm the current details on the official exam page before booking. Our advisors verify them with you when the voucher is issued.

CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) FAQs
Within the CompTIA programme, CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) is the certification for keeping production systems configured, patched and available. In practice it is an entry-level credential that checks you understand the core concepts.
The natural candidate already spends time on keeping production systems configured, patched and available. Common job titles are Systems Administrator, Infrastructure Engineer, Operations Engineer and Technical Specialist. We assume some hands-on exposure and focus on the gaps that cost marks.
What gets examined is keeping production systems configured, patched and available, meaning installation and configuration, monitoring and patching and troubleshooting live faults. We follow the objective list CompTIA publishes in order, without paraphrasing it.
The listed fee is USD 250, or USD 149 with WebAsha's 10% discounted voucher. Pricing is CompTIA's to set and moves with region and currency, so we confirm today's figure before you pay.
CompTIA lists this certification by name rather than a short code. Use the full title CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202) when booking so you are registered against the right certification.
CompTIA owns the format, length and pass mark, and changes them between revisions. We read the current figures off the official page with you before you book.
CompTIA states any formal requirement on the official exam page, and it changes between revisions. More usefully: can you do installation and configuration, monitoring and patching and troubleshooting live faults without help? If not, we will suggest a lower rung first.
Preparation time tracks your existing experience of keeping production systems configured, patched and available. Rather than quoting a number that would not apply to you, we measure your practice results and tell you when you are ready.
Teaching is live, and your lab stays available between sessions. Watching someone else run hands-on administration tasks does not transfer the skill.
Yes. You get exam-style questions plus hands-on administration tasks, drawn from the published objectives. Results come back per objective, which keeps revision honest.
Whether a free retake applies is CompTIA's policy, and it varies by certification. Check the official policy before booking. On our side you keep lab access and get a revision plan built from the score breakdown.
