Course overview

CompTIA (The Computing Technology Industry Association) is a global, not-for-profit organization that provides competency validation and certifications in IT. Since its inception in 1982, CompTIA has become one of the most recognized players in IT training and certification, with the goal of strengthening the IT industry’s skills, credibility, and career prospects.

CompTIA’s certifications are vendor-neutral, which means they are not tied to a specific technology provider. Instead, they focus on broad, practical skills that are in demand regardless of whether the user works with Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon, Linux or another platform. The certifications are divided into several levels – from basic to advanced level – and follow a natural progression for IT professionals.
