CompTIA is committed to helping learners and professionals validate their skills and knowledge in the IT and business industries. One way CompTIA achieves this is through CompTIA CompCerts (Certificates of Competency). These certificates provide reliable, one-time recognition of acquired knowledge and skill competency, helping individuals stand out in their careers and demonstrate their expertise to employers.
What Is a CompTIA CompCert?
A CompTIA CompCert is a Certificate of Competency that focuses on the development and achievement of specific skills, rather than centering on a job role. It serves as proof of skill competency and provides an additional layer of validity for third parties, such as employers or clients.
CompCerts are designed to recognize learners' ability to apply their knowledge and skills in specific areas. Backed by the trusted CompTIA brand, these certificates are valuable for professionals looking to enhance their resumes and showcase their expertise.
How to Earn a CompTIA CompCert
To receive a CompTIA CompCert, learners must pass the associated Competency Assessment. These assessments evaluate a learner’s knowledge and skills related to CompTIA products and training.
The Competency Assessment ensures that learners have mastered the material and can demonstrate their abilities in a practical, measurable way. Once the assessment is successfully completed, the learner is awarded a CompTIA CompCert, which can be shared with employers or used as proof of competency in a specific skill area.
