- Troubleshooting system, hardware, network, and performance issues
Purchase Options (7)
CompTIA mixes and matches a handful of building blocks — CertMaster Learn (the course), CertMaster Labs (hands-on practice), CertMaster Practice (a final readiness check), CertMaster Study (a textbook-style guide), CertMaster Perform (Learn + Labs combined), and the exam Voucher itself — into the packages below. Buy Now takes you to secure Stripe checkout; CRS training ops will redeem your CompTIA license and email you within 1 business day.
CertMaster Study
V8
A traditional, fully illustrated study guide (eBook and print) — reference-style content for learners who prefer a textbook to interactive eLearning.
$116
R 1 742
CertMaster Labs
V8
Hands-on virtual lab environments mapped directly to exam objectives — practice by doing rather than reading. Sold on its own for learners who already have the theory and want practical repetition, or bundled with CertMaster Learn.
$153
R 2 288
CertMaster Practice
V8
An adaptive practice-question engine that confirms strong areas and flags weak ones. This is a final readiness check used after Learn and/or Labs, not a way to learn new material.
$169
R 2 531
CertMaster Learn
V8
The self-paced eLearning course — readings, instructional videos, quizzes, flashcards, and a guided study plan covering every exam objective. This is what teaches the material; it does not include hands-on labs or the exam itself.
$404
R 6 055
CertMaster Perform
V8
CompTIA's most comprehensive single product — eLearning, hands-on labs, and live virtual machine environments combined into one integrated course, covering learning through to practical skills development in one purchase.
$537
R 8 060
Complete Learning Bundle
V8
CertMaster Learn + Labs (and Practice, where included) bundled together — every training component you need to prepare, but no exam voucher. Book your exam separately when you're ready.
$639
R 9 578
Complete Bundle with Voucher Plus Retake Assurance
V8
The full package — every training component, your exam booking, and a free retake if you need it. The most comprehensive single option CRS sells for this certification.
