CompTIA A+ Certification
– Comptia Certification CompTIA A+ Certification is a testing
program sponsored by the Computing Technology Industry Association
(CompTIA) that certifies the competency of service technicians
in the computer industry. Major computer hardware and software
manufacturers, vendors, distributors, resellers and publications
back the program.
Earning CompTIA A+ certification
means that you possess the knowledge, skills and customer
relation skills essential for a successful computer service
technician. The exams cover a broad range of hardware and
software technologies, but are not related to any vendor-specific
products.
Why certification is important:
There are two primary reasons that CompTIA A+ certification
is important. The first is to verify past experience and
achievement. The second is to launch a new career or vocation.
- Recognized proof of professional
achievement. The CompTIA A+ credential validates that
the holder has reached a level of competence commonly
accepted and valued by the industry.
- Enhanced job opportunities. Many
employers give preference in hiring applicants with CompTIA
A+ Certification. Some employers require CompTIA A+ as
a condition of employment.
- Opportunity for advancement. The
CompTIA A+ credential can be a plus when an employer awards
job promotions.
- Training requirement. CompTIA
A+ Certification is being adopted as a prerequisite to
attending certain vendor’s training courses. Vendors find
they can cut their training programs by as much as 50%
by requiring that all attendees are CompTIA A+ certified.
- Customer confidence. As the general
public learns about CompTIA A+ Certification, customers
will require that only certified technicians be assigned
to their accounts.
- Companies benefit from improved
productivity. Certified employees perform work faster
and more accurately. Statistics show certified employees
can work up to 75% faster than non-certified employees
can.
- Customer satisfaction. When employees
have credentials that prove their competency, customer
expectations are more likely met. More business can be
generated for the employer through repeat sales to satisfied
customers.
