CompTIA (The Computing Technology Industry Association) is a global, non-profit organization that provides skills validation and certifications in IT. Since its inception in 1982, CompTIA has become one of the most recognized players in IT training and certification, with the goal of strengthening the IT industry’s skills, credibility and career opportunities.
CompTIA’s certifications are vendor-neutral, which means they are not tied to a specific technology vendor. Instead, they focus on broad, practical skills that are in demand whether the user is working with Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon, Linux or another platform. The certifications are divided into several levels – from basic to advanced – and follow a natural progression for IT professionals.

IT professionals.
Depends on course and level.
CompTIA certifications are tested through computer-based exams with multiple choice questions, scenario-based tasks and simulations. The tests are conducted at authorized testing centers (e.g. Pearson VUE) or online via proctored testing platform. Certifications are usually valid for three years and can be renewed through new courses, work, or renewal exams (CE program – Continuing Education).
These trainings are delivered in collaboration with Informator’s training partner, QA.
CompTIA certifications are divided into the following levels:
The Core certifications are designed to provide a broad and solid foundation in IT, security and networking. They are suitable for both beginners and people looking to change careers.
