The Computing Industry Technology Association

CompTIA Certification is a testing program sponsored by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) that certifies the competency of service technicians in the computer industry. 

• Best known for the A+ certification, CompTIA certifications cover everything from building, maintaining an servicing a computer to web development. Over a half-million professionals to date have earned CompTIA certification.

• CompTIA certification programs are known throughout the technology community as one of the best ways to break into the information technology field and build a solid career. 

• CompTIA certification programs are the recognized industry standards for foundation-level information technology (IT) skills. 

• Top technology companies like Cisco, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Novell use CompTIA certifications as electives or equivalents to their own certification tracks. 

CompTIA has more than 9,000 corporate members in 63 countries, and thousands of individual professional members. Almost half a million individuals worldwide have earned CompTIA certifications. Initially a lightly-regarded certification, CompTIA has shown its resilience, as evidenced by the recent announcement by Microsoft that a combination of their certifications, either A+/Net+ or A+/Server+ are viable and acceptable replacements for the newly designated MCSA certification from Microsoft.
