Before you start

CompTIA recommends two to three years of hands-on IT infrastructure experience, such as working with servers, networks or virtualisation.

No other certification is required, though CompTIA Network+ or Server+ knowledge will help. Use the 100 practice questions and the activities to check your progress.

About the CV0-002 exam

CV0-002 is the CompTIA Cloud+ exam that this course follows. CompTIA issues it and it is vendor-neutral, so it applies whichever cloud provider you use. It covers configuration and deployment, security, maintenance, management and troubleshooting.

CompTIA has since released newer Cloud+ versions. Check comptia.org for the version on offer before you book, and see our CV0-004 course for the latest objectives.
