This certification proves basic knowledge of computer operations and serves as a platform to build on to obtain other industry certifications, both generalized, and area specific ones. Passing this exam gave me the confidence to pursue other industry certifications as I enter into the professional world. After this certification I plan on working towards both my Network+ and Security+ certification. My goal is to be certified in both competencies by the end of the year, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of April 21st, 2026 I have successfully completed the requirements to earn my CompTIA A+ Certification.
