CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (ITF+) FC0-U61 is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with no prior IT experience who want to explore whether a career in technology is right for them. It covers basic IT concepts including computing basics, infrastructure, applications, software development, database fundamentals, and security. ITF+ is often used in academic programmes as a precursor to CompTIA A+ and is suitable for non-IT professionals who need a working knowledge of technology. It is a single-exam certification with no renewal requirement.
Official prerequisite
None — designed for complete beginners
Recommended experience
No experience required; basic computer literacy is helpful
Absolute beginners with no formal IT background — this is designed as a first step into the field
Should you skip this exam?
If you already have IT experience or hold CompTIA A+, this certification is too introductory — start with A+ or Network+
Courseiva study tip
Use CompTIA's free study resources and the official exam objectives guide; hands-on time with a computer will reinforce the concepts quickly
