FAQ
What is the CompTIA Server+ certification?
CompTIA Server+ (code SK0-005) is a vendor-neutral, recognised international certification that validates physical and virtual server administration skills: hardware, OS, virtualisation, storage, security, troubleshooting and business recovery. It targets systems administrators with 1-2 years of experience.
What is the difference between Server+ and CompTIA A+ or Network+?
A+ covers general IT support, Network+ focuses on networking. Server+ is specifically dedicated to server administration (on-prem and cloud). MFE-IT offers all three certifications and guides you according to your background.
Is the CompTIA Server+ exam included in the course?
Yes. Our CompTIA Server+ certification course includes sitting the official SK0-005 exam. The voucher and online or test-centre arrangements are part of the offer.
Does the course cover server hardware, storage (RAID), virtualisation and disaster recovery?
Yes. The programme covers server installation and administration: hardware, storage and RAID, virtualisation, security, maintenance, as well as high availability and disaster recovery (DR).
What is the difference between CompTIA Server+ and A+?
A+ focuses on the workstation and user support. Server+ specialises in servers: server hardware, storage, virtualisation, high availability and recovery plans. Server+ is aimed at infrastructure administrators.
How long does it take to prepare for the Server+ certification?
Our Server+ course runs over 5 days (35 hours) in a fully tailored format. This volume covers all exam domains with hands-on labs and question simulations.
