What is the CompTIA Cloud+ certification?
CompTIA Cloud+ is a performance-based certification that validates the skills needed to deploy, maintain, and optimize cloud infrastructure services. It covers cloud architecture, deployment, operations, security, and troubleshooting.
What’s included when I study with CyLynk?
Depending on your chosen path, you’ll get access to a full supporting course, hands-on virtual labs, practice exams, coaching or mentorship options, and your official exam voucher — all in one place.
Do I need any prior experience to take Cloud+?
While there are no formal prerequisites, it is recommended that candidates have 2–3 years of hands-on experience as a systems administrator or cloud engineer, familiarity with major hypervisor technologies, and CompTIA Network+ and Server+ certifications or equivalent knowledge.
How is the exam structured?
The Cloud+ exam (CV0-004) consists of multiple-choice and performance-based questions, with a maximum of 90 questions over 90 minutes. The passing score is 750 on a scale of 100–900.
How long does the certification last?
Cloud+ is valid for 3 years from the date of your exam. You can renew it through CompTIA’s Continuing Education (CE) program by earning CEUs, taking a newer version of the exam, or earning a higher-level certification.
How do I schedule the exam?
Once you’re ready, you’ll receive a voucher and can book your exam through Pearson VUE — either online with remote proctoring or at a local test centre.
What happens if I don’t pass the exam first try?
You’ll receive feedback on which domains need improvement, and we’ll work with you through coaching or review sessions if you’re in a supported plan. Certify Master includes a pass guarantee with support until you succeed.
Will this help me get a role involving cloud services?
Yes. Cloud+ is designed for IT professionals working in cloud-based environments who need to understand and manage cloud infrastructure services. It validates the skills necessary to maintain and optimise cloud infrastructure services.
