For A+ Certification, the
examinee must pass both this examination and the A+ Operating System
Technologies examination.
The Core Hardware examination measures essential competencies for a
desktop computer hardware service technician with six months of on-the-job
experience. The examinee must demonstrate basic knowledge of installing,
configuring, upgrading, troubleshooting, and repairing desktop computer
systems at the standard defined by this test specification.
