Career paths and next certifications after CompTIA A+ Core 2 +
CompTIA A+ is globally recognized as the standard entry-level IT support certification and is approved under DoD Directive 8570/8140 for IAT Level I roles. Many learners pair this training with CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) to complete the full A+ path, then move toward CompTIA Network+ N10-009 for networking and infrastructure skills or CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 to move into cybersecurity roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CompTIA A+ Core 1 and Core 2 +
Core 1 (220-1201) covers hardware, networking fundamentals, mobile devices, virtualization and cloud computing. Core 2 (220-1202) covers operating systems, security, software troubleshooting and operational procedures. Both exams must be passed to earn the CompTIA A+ certification, and training courses for each exam are available separately. Many candidates study for both exams at the same time and sit them in sequence.
Do I need to pass Core 1 before taking the 220-1202 Core 2 exam +
CompTIA does not require you to pass Core 1 before sitting the Core 2 exam. Both exams must be passed to earn the full A+ certification, but they can be taken in any order. This training covers the Core 2 domains independently, so you can prepare for and sit the 220-1202 exam at any point in your A+ journey.
What is the format of the 220-1202 exam and what is the passing score +
The 220-1202 exam contains a maximum of 90 questions across multiple-choice, drag-and-drop and performance-based formats, with a 90-minute time limit. The passing score is 700 on a scale of 100 to 900. The exam is available through Pearson VUE at authorized testing centers or via online proctoring.
Is the exam voucher included and how do I register for the exam +
The exam voucher is not included in this training. The exam is administered globally by Pearson VUE, either at an authorized testing center or via online proctoring. Once your preparation is complete, you register and purchase your exam voucher directly through the official certification or Pearson VUE website.

Yes. DiviTrain offers volume licensing for teams and organizations looking to upskill at scale. Whether you are certifying a small IT team or rolling out training across departments, our corporate solutions provide flexible access and invoicing options. Visit our For Teams page to learn more.
