This narrated edition of our Monday “Certified” feature from Bare Metal Cyber Magazine walks you through CompTIA Server+ (Server+) in clear, practical language. You’ll hear what the certification is designed to prove, who it’s really for, and how it fits between entry-level support work and more advanced infrastructure roles. Along the way, we connect the dots between physical hardware, virtualization, storage, networking, and troubleshooting so you can picture the environments Server+ expects you to understand.

In this episode, we also break down what the Server+ exam really tests, how the questions feel, and how the credential fits into a bigger career path that might include security, cloud, or platform-specific certifications. If you want to go beyond a single walkthrough, you can dive into the full audio course for Server+ inside the Bare Metal Cyber Audio Academy for deeper, step-by-step exam prep.
