The value of CompTIA certification

CompTIA -- the Computing Technology Industry Association – has offered vendor-neutral certifications for IT professionals across all industries and experience levels. The certifications have helped thousands of people in the IT field attain new skills and professional growth.

Cuyahoga Community College provides a pathway to CompTIA certification for those in the IT field, with courses available both online and in person.

“There are many different reasons why someone might pursue a CompTIA certification,” said Seth Pinckney, IT client manager at Tri-C. “It’s a way for someone new to the field to add an important line to their resume. It’s a way for those established in the field to demonstrate professional growth or prepare for a change in positions. In short, a CompTIA certification shows current and prospective employers that your skills are up to date.”

The statistics bear out the value of earning a CompTIA certification:
70 percent of IT professionals, and 93 percent of hiring managers, believe IT certifications are beneficial.
58 percent of organizations believe certified IT staff are more valuable, and 53 percent of organizations believe certified IT staff perform better.
Among certified IT employees, nearly half believe they are better at insightful problem-solving, and more than a third agree they are more able to understand new and complex technologies.
CompTIA-certified IT professionals earn, on average, more than $70,000 per year.

Throughout the second half of the year, Tri-C will offer both online and classroom training courses to prepare students for certification in CompTIA IT Fundamentals and CompTIA A+. Students can take the certification exams at the testing center on Tri-C’s Metropolitan Campus.
