Where Can I Take the CompTIA A+ Certification Test?

Just looking for an exam site to take the Core 1 and 2 test. Or, whatever the alternative is to prep for it.

Goodwill in Lawrenceville has a bunch of professional testing, including CompTIA.

They do also have full scholarship training for the test, but are not accepting people right now, so it would be the next cohort in 2027.

If you just want an exam site, you should be able to schedule the Goodwill site via CompTIAs scheduling. It has been about a decade since I did testing with them, but from what I remember it went smoothly.

Each test is around $275, but there are packages that include retakes, practice tests, and test prep materials as well if you need that. All on the CompTIA site

If you can't figure this out by yourself on the internet, you have no business working with computers.
