💵 Cost & Difficulty: What You Should Know Before Booking
As of mid‑2025, CompTIA has raised its exam voucher prices. CompTIA A+ — the most popular entry‑level certification — requires passing two exams (Core 1 and Core 2). Each exam voucher now costs approximately $253 (USD) in the United States.
That means the total base cost for A+ certification is about $506 (USD) — before taxes, regional adjustments, or potential retake/voucher‑bundle choices.
For other popular certifications: CompTIA Security+ (exam code SY0‑701) currently lists at $425 (USD) for the exam voucher.
What Influences the Final Cost
- Which CompTIA certification you go for (A+, Network+, Security+, etc.).
- Whether you’re in the U.S. (USD pricing) or redeeming in another currency/region (cost may vary).
- Whether you purchase an exam voucher only or a bundled package (voucher + study materials + retake option) — bundles often cost more but offer added convenience.
- Whether you need retakes — every attempt requires purchase of a voucher.
How Difficult Is the Exam?
Difficulty depends heavily on your background. For completely new entrants — like yourself, coming from a non‑IT background — it will take some effort. For example, A+ demands knowledge of hardware, operating systems, basic networking, and troubleshooting.
However, if you’re short on time or you prefer to bypass the learning curve, CertWizard’s “exam assistance” service can simplify the process: you don’t need to spend weeks on studying before booking — CertWizard handles the logistics, voucher purchase, scheduling, and ensures a smooth proctored exam experience.
