CompTIA serves the IT industry as the world's largest developer of vendor-neutral IT certification exams. Since establishing the certification program in 1993, more than one million CompTIA certifications have been earned worldwide. Currently, CompTIA offers certifications in PC hardware, networking, servers, e-Business, convergence, project management, training, Linux, security, digital home technology, document imaging and RFID.
CompTIA certification programs receive worldwide use and recognition. When developing an exam, CompTIA engages international focus groups and recruits subject matter experts from around the world to define programs, write, review and participate in beta exams. CompTIA certifications are built with the knowledge of experts and industry leaders from the public and private sectors, including training, academia and the government.
CompTIA’s strength in certification is a result of the support it receives from the industry. Businesses have come to trust and depend on CompTIA standards to provide a reliable predictor of employee success. Many companies with their own certification programs still use CompTIA certifications as prerequisites to validate foundation-level skill sets.
