4/27/2005 -- The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) has an inventory of discount vouchers for A+ exams that are on the verge of expiring, the certification vendor told CertCities. So, CompTIA wants to unload them at even deeper discounts to anyone who plans to take the A+ in the next few weeks.

Fee for the A+ exam retails at $145 (U.S.) for non-members, but CompTIA members can shave off as much as $65 with an expiring voucher, which can be used at any Pearson VUE or Thomson Prometric testing center worldwide. (Some CompTIA partners often provide discount vouchers of around 10 to 15 percent off retail.)

Exam pricing with vouchers that expire on May 8 is $80 for members, $105 for non-members. Vouchers expiring on May 31 can reduce exam fees to $90 for members, $115 for non-members. CompTIA limits the offer to four vouchers per person.

The CompTIA A+ is an entry-level computer service technician certification. CompTIA says that more than 500,000 people have obtained the certification to date. -Michael Domingo
