CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam Cost and How to Book Your Seat

If you're planning to sit CompTIA A+ Core 1, cost and logistics are usually the first two questions. Here's what CompTIA's official pages confirm, and what to check directly with CompTIA before you commit.

What is the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam cost?

We were not able to confirm a specific comptia a+ core 1 exam cost on an official CompTIA page during our research. CompTIA maintains a dedicated exam-prices page, and that is the source to check for the current fee before you register, since vendor pricing changes and any number we printed here could go stale. Do not rely on third-party resellers or forum posts for the figure — go to CompTIA directly.

comptia a+ core 1 exam fee in india

We likewise could not confirm an India-specific price on an official comptia.org page. If you're booking from India, use the same CompTIA exam-prices page and select your country or currency there; do not assume the US figure applies, since CompTIA does vary pricing by region for many exams.

Is there a comptia a+ core 1 voucher?

CompTIA's official pages describe exam vouchers as part of its standard purchasing process, but we don't have confirmed CompTIA A+ Core 1 voucher terms to quote here. Check the same CompTIA exam-prices and voucher pages for current voucher options, since terms and availability can change.

How to book CompTIA A+ Core 1

CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) is delivered through Pearson VUE. You have two options:

• Test center: sit the exam in person at a Pearson VUE test center.
• Online proctored: sit the exam from your own computer through Pearson VUE's OnVUE service, with a live proctor monitoring remotely.

Both routes use the same exam content, timing, and passing score; the difference is entirely in how check-in and monitoring work. See the exam-day guide for what to expect during check-in for either option.

Taking it from India

Candidates in India can sit CompTIA A+ Core 1 either at a Pearson VUE test center in India or through OnVUE online proctoring from home, since online proctoring is available for this exam. We do not have confirmed India-specific pricing or voucher details, so budget by checking CompTIA's official exam-prices page directly rather than assuming figures quoted elsewhere are current. The exam itself, its objectives, and its passing score of 675 are identical regardless of where in the world you take it.

What if I don't pass on the first attempt?

CompTIA's retake policy applies here the same way it does across CompTIA exams: there's no waiting period before your second attempt, but a third or later attempt requires a wait first. Each attempt is a separate registration and, presumably, a separate fee, which is another reason to walk in prepared rather than treating the exam as a first pass at learning the material.

Before you book

Before you register, confirm you understand the exam format and have covered the exam objectives — booking is easy to reverse in terms of learning the material, much harder to reverse in terms of the fee. If you're unsure whether you meet the prerequisites, read that page first, and see the study plan for how much preparation time other candidates typically build in before booking a date, so the fee you eventually pay is for an attempt you're actually ready for.
