A. In partnership with CompTIA, Cisco Networking Academy is offering significant discounts on CompTIA A+ certification exams to students who have recently completed, or will soon complete, the Cisco Networking Academy® IT Essentials (ITE) curriculum. This discount is available only to students in the following 18 pilot countries, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The pilot also includes students in the Russian Federation, Germany, Turkey, and Poland.
Q2. What is the CompTIA A+ Certification and how can it help me enhance my career?
A. The CompTIA A+ certification is the starting point for a career in IT. The CompTIA A+ exams cover the maintenance of PCs, mobile devices, laptops, operating systems, and printers. Although CompTIA A+ is a requirement for Dell, Intel, and Lenovo service technicians, it is a vendor-neutral certification that is held by 900,000 IT professionals around the world. Jobs that use the CompTIA A+ certification include the following:
Technical support specialist
Field service technician
IT support technician
IT support administrator
IT support specialist
For more information on the CompTIA A+ certification and related career pathways, please visit the CompTIA A+ career roadmap site.
Q3. How do I become eligible for a CompTIA A+ certification exam discount?
A. Students in the pilot countries become eligible for this discount by completing the ITE course (receiving a Pass in the gradebook) and scoring 75% or higher on their final exam. After meeting these eligibility criteria, students will be notified that they have qualified to receive a 54% discount on the CompTIA A+ certification exams. Students must pass two exams to receive their A+ certification and eligible students will receive two coupon codes, one per exam.
Q4. How long is my discount good for?
A. Eligible students will have 30 days to redeem their coupon with CompTIA in the country in which they became eligible, after which they will have 12 months to take their exam. The month following your eligibility, you will receive a discount notification email with your coupon codes. You must redeem your coupon codes within 30 days from the date of your email notification and schedule your exams within 12 months. This A+ certification discount program is made available through the generosity of CompTIA and at CompTIA’s discretion. It could end abruptly and without notice. We encourage you to act quickly to redeem your coupons within 30 days and take your A+ certification exams as soon as possible.
Q5. I’m an IT Essentials student in a country not included in the pilot, why can’t I get the discount?
A. The A+ certification exam discount program has been made available by the generosity of CompTIA and at their discretion. Currently, the discount for IT Essentials students is only available in the 18 pilot countries. We hope that the program may be expanded globally, but there is no schedule or commitment to do so.
Q6. If I know I’m eligible, why don’t I see anything on my Cisco NetSpace™ Learn tab and why haven’t I received an email notification with discount coupon codes?
A. Discounts on CompTIA A+ certification exams are not administered like discount vouchers for other NetAcad™ courses. Coupon codes from CompTIA will be distributed monthly, following the month a student becomes eligible. For example, students who qualify in December will receive their coupon codes in January. The month following your eligibility, you will receive an email notification from Cisco with your personal coupon codes and instructions for redeeming them. We encourage you to act quickly to redeem your coupons within 30 days and take your A+ certification exams as soon as possible.
Q7. I’m in one of the pilot countries and I completed my IT Essentials class during 2013. Will I still receive an email notification with discount coupon codes?
A. All students who were eligible after January 2013 on were sent notification of their eligibility with their individual discount codes. If you were eligible for a discount but did not receive your notification, please visit the Networking Academy Facebook page to request help or contact your instructor. There may be limited opportunity for CompTIA to reissue you a discount.
Q8. I logged into CompTIA’s Marketplace but I’m unable to redeem my coupons. Who do I contact for help?
A. If you have any questions or need assistance in redeeming your coupons for A+ certification exam vouchers, please contact the CompTIA Customer Support Center and click Submit a Ticket to create a request for help.
Q9. Pearson VUE doesn’t recognize my CompTIA voucher. Who do I contact for help?
A. If you have any questions or need assistance in redeeming your voucher when registering for an A+ exam, please contact the CompTIA Customer Support Center and click Submit a Ticket to create a request for help.
