Building IT Profession Through A Comptia Course

By Claudine Hodges


Information Technology is a broad field that requires constant certification to bring the professionals up to date with current happenings. A CompTIA course is available for most of the specialties in the IT field. The organization, Computing Technology Industry Association, that oversees the certifications is a non-profit organization made up of top industry leaders.

CompTIA( an abbreviation of Computing Technology Industry Association) designed its courses to offer quality and well recognized training to students that are in the low income bracket. Most of the certifications are designed in forms where the students can self-tutor themselves. Most of the courses are in video and online tutorial format, allowing students to study at their own pace.

People who are already working can take the courses while they still stay on their jobs. Students in other institutions can also take advantage of the flexibility offered by Computing Technology Industry Association to certify while they continue with their usual studies. Students have a choice to study wherever they please. They do not need to spend money on transportations to specialized study centers.

Individuals and some independent institutions are CompTIA certified to provide training. A candidate can contact for their training if they find it difficult studying independently. A list of these individuals and institutions are available on the Computing Technology Industry Association website.

Just like the ease of the preparation; the examination itself is also very flexible. A candidate can register to write the test at their chosen location and time of choice. Pearson VUE and Certiport are two organizations that administer exams on behalf of Computing Technology Industry Association. Candidates would have to go to their website to schedule their exams.

CompTIA certified professionals can work with platforms provided by any vendor. This is because the training does not target any specific software or hardware vendor. Due to its recognition, some other IT certifications require candidates to have specific Computing Technology Industry Association certification as a condition for admission.

Certifications from Computing Technology Industry Association are trusted by employers worldwide. This is because of their awareness of the expertise of people who prepare the study and examination materials. Certified professionals are therefore expected to put up the highest level of performance at their jobs.

No matter the level of knowledge needed in IT; there is a course to meet that need. The Computing Technology Industry Association Basic Series are designed to introduce candidates to the basic concepts of computing. The CompTIA professional certifications are courses designed to develop the knowledge and technical skills desirable to be successful in a modern-day IT career. These cover the skills of networking, communication, installations, and preventive maintenance. Other fields covered include Linux administration, software configurations, and file permissions. IT project management is also part of one of the courses.

The Mastery Series of courses comprises certifications that provide candidates with advanced skills needed in a specific IT field. Some of the courses in the series are more of an advancement to others in the professional series. The Computing Technology Industry Association Specialty Series covers IT knowledge needed in other fields of endeavor such as Social Media.
