    I think since you need both to actually become certified you'd be forced into the CE program version of the A+; you would still only have to complete 702. I don't work for CompTIA so don't quote me on this one icon_lol.gif

    you probably would have to take both over, but remember if you pass one there is a 12 month wait period nut i would cal them to ask, oh you might get a voice mail too.

    Actually you would be in the new program. But remember that in the new CE program you only need to take the most senior of the 3 (A+, Net+, Sec+) to renew the others (Sec+ being the most senior of the 3).
    So if you do get sandwiched by the year end you don't necessarily have to take the A+ in 3 years but could just take Net+ in 3 years and then Sec+ 3 years later and your A+ would be current still. Or just take all 3 after Jan 1 and retake Sec+ every 3 years to stay current on all 3.
    I'm retaking my A+ sometime after the next version of it goes live just so I can stay current on the technologies covered as I took mine in Dec 2008. They're not offering bridge exams for any of these tests after this year.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.
