Notes Regarding CompTIA Certification Exams
CompTIA certification exams are rigorous and challenging, requiring many additional hours of study beyond the course itself. Expect to spend a significant amount of time supplementing the course before class (meeting the prerequisite’s), and after class with additional study materials and hands-on practice to reinforce your understanding of the topics. By studying and using the Exam Assessment you will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time. We recommend downloading the official exam objectives to use as a guide for your studying.
