CompTIA FAQ's
How do I take my CompTIA exam?
You can take a CompTIA certification exam either online or in-person at a Person VUE test center.
I want to work in IT, but I don’t know where to start. Which certification is best for me?
The CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification is recommended for career-changers and students preparing to enter the IT workforce. That’s because CompTIA ITF+ helps professionals decide if a career in IT is right for them or to develop a broader understanding of IT. The CompTIA Career Pathway showcases different paths you can take and the certifications within that pathway. If you already have some technical knowledge but need credentials to get your foot in the door, check out CompTIA A+. This certification is the industry standard for entry-level IT jobs, including technical support specialist and help desk technician.
Why should I choose CompTIA?
There are a lot of other certifications out there. It depends on what area you’re looking to get certified in and which companies offer those certifications. CompTIA is vendor-neutral, so the skills you learn can be applied to any product. Other certifications, such as Cisco and Microsoft, are vendor-specific, meaning that the skills you learn only focus on a specific product. Starting with a vendor-neutral certification like CompTIA’s can help you build a foundation of skills that allows you to dive deeper with a vendor-specific certification.
What skills do I need to be successful in IT?
IT pros must actively acquire new skills to keep up with evolving technology. These in-demand skills will keep you competitive and functioning well in your IT career, regardless of what the future holds. The most sought out IT skills include not only technical skills – such as cloud computing, programming and tech support – but also professional skills like project management, communication and problem solving.
