What is the AIO-002 exam?

CompTIA AI+ (AIO-002) is CompTIA's artificial intelligence certification, launched in 2024. It validates knowledge of AI concepts, machine learning, generative AI, prompt engineering, AI tools and workflows, responsible AI, and AI security. Unlike vendor-specific AI certifications (AWS AIF-C01, Azure AI-900), CompTIA AI+ is vendor-neutral and covers AI from the perspective of IT practitioners who implement, manage, and secure AI systems rather than build them from scratch.

What experience do you need for AIO-002?

Official prerequisite

None

Recommended experience

CompTIA A+ or equivalent IT experience; basic familiarity with AI/ML concepts

Who should take the AIO-002 exam?

No formal AI prerequisites. CompTIA recommends 1 year of IT experience. Familiarity with basic AI concepts (what ML is, what generative AI does) is helpful.

IT Administrator (AI-adjacent)Systems AdministratorHelp Desk (AI tools)DevOps EngineerData Analyst

Should you skip this exam?

If you are building or training AI models, a data science or ML engineering certification (AWS MLS-C01, Google Professional ML Engineer) is more appropriate. CompTIA AI+ is for IT professionals working with and around AI, not for ML engineers.

How hard is the AIO-002 exam?

★★☆☆☆Easy–ModerateStudy time: 40–80 hours

Courseiva study tip

Prompt engineering and generative AI tools make up a significant portion of AIO-002 — these are practical skills. Set up accounts on ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot and experiment with prompt techniques (few-shot, chain-of-thought, role prompting) hands-on. This beats reading about them.

What salary does AIO-002 get you?

UK salary range

£35,000–£60,000

US salary range

Frequently asked questions about AIO-002

What is the CompTIA AI+ certification?

CompTIA AI+ (AIO-002) is CompTIA's vendor-neutral artificial intelligence certification. It validates knowledge of AI and ML concepts, generative AI, prompt engineering, responsible AI, and how to work with and secure AI systems in an IT environment.

How much does the CompTIA AI+ exam cost?

The CompTIA AI+ (AIO-002) exam costs $338 USD.

What is the passing score for CompTIA AI+?

750 out of 900.

Is CompTIA AI+ hard?

CompTIA AI+ is in the easy-to-moderate range. It covers AI concepts at a practical level rather than a deep mathematical or programming level. Candidates with IT experience and some familiarity with AI tools typically need 40–80 hours of study.

Does CompTIA AI+ expire?

Yes — CompTIA AI+ is valid for 3 years, renewable through CompTIA's Continuing Education (CE) program.

What is the difference between CompTIA AI+ and AWS AI Practitioner?

CompTIA AI+ (AIO-002) is vendor-neutral and focuses on AI from an IT practitioner's perspective — managing and securing AI systems. AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) focuses specifically on AWS AI services and is conceptual. CompTIA AI+ goes broader and deeper on practical AI use in IT environments.

Should I take Security+ before CompTIA AI+?

No prerequisite order is required. CompTIA AI+ stands alone. If your goal is a security career with AI skills, take Security+ first as it has broader market demand, then AI+ as a complement.
