Locked In is a bite-sized study companion for the CompTIA A+ certification, covering both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). It suits people who study in 10-minute windows on the train or at lunch: every lesson is short and ends with a quick check so you know what stuck. The app follows the current V15 exams (220-1201 and 220-1202), which CompTIA launched on March 25, 2025. CompTIA lists the retirement as usually three years after launch, estimated 2028.
