CompTIA stackable certifications demonstrate that you've earned multiple CompTIA certifications, and map to the CompTIA Infrastructure Career Pathway or CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway. Within each pathway the stackable certifications are categorized as Specialist, Professional or Expert level.
When you achieve the combination of CompTIA certifications that comprise a CompTIA stackable certification, you'll be granted the respective stackable certification automatically.
For example, if you earn both an A+ certification and Network+ certification, you'll automatically earn the CompTIA IT Operations Specialist (CIOS) designation. Visit the CompTIA Stackable Certifications page for a complete list and additional details.
