The previous certifications are being replaced with a Certificate of Competency, which provides students with a meaningful and recognized credential.
Following the integration of CompTIA and TestOut learning product lines, it became necessary to align the types of assessments and credentials offered across the organization. While TestOut exams are known for their high quality, performance-based approach, they differ from CompTIA certifications in terms of development methodology, standards, and delivery requirements.
With this change, students now have the opportunity to earn a Certificate of Competency to demonstrate their learning achievements. They may also choose to pursue an accredited CompTIA certification, which is widely recognized and respected across the IT industry.
