INTRODUCTION

The CompTIA Cloud Essentials exam is a vendor-neutral exam testing your

services can be effectively managed. This certification is designed for IT

and project managers. CompTIA recommends individuals seeking this
certification have six months of experience working in an environment that

markets or relies on IT-related services. There is no expiration of this
CompTIA certification as of this writing.
