Additional Notes Regarding CompTIA Certification Exams
As with most professional IT certifications, CompTIA Certification exams are very rigorous and challenging. Many additional hours of study are required before the class (meeting the prerequisites) and after the class (reviewing exam objectives and practice questions). Expect to spend a significant number of hours studying before you take a CompTIA or any other IT professional exam. The class alone will not prepare you to take the exam. You also need to study and prepare on your own for the Security+ certification. For more information, please read our article:
