601 & 702 for the cert?

Aceman5405

Hi guys,

Im new to the forum. Forgive me if this question has already been answered. I just took my certification for the 601 today, using a voucher I had from about 4 months ago. I passed. So does that mean all I need to do is pass the 702 since they changed the objectives and I'm certified, and my 601 will count as the 701? I sent an email to Comptia, but was hoping someone might know on here.

Thanks

Hello, Aceman
Welcome to Tech exams

I’m pretty sure that the A+ (2006) objectives are retired. If you wanted to attain the 2006 A+ certification, you would need to take the 601,and one of the following exams 220-602, 220-603, or the 220-604. If you pass both exams you become A+ certified. Although, Comp tia has retired the 2006 exams, and replaced them with the A+ 2009 objectives and exam material. I highlighted the date that they will retire. I think your best bet would be to call Comp tia. Here is their number…

The existing CompTIA A+ 600 series exams remain relevant and are in use by organizations and educational institutions throughout the world.

The educational versions of these exams (JK0-601, JK0-602, JK0-603 and JK0-604), as well as the German, Korean, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese translations of the 220-601 through 220-604 CompTIA A+ exams, will remain in the market for use until August 31, 2010.
