The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is a non-profit trade association, founded in 1982, and is a provider of professional certifications for the information technology industry.
Certificate programsCompTIA's certification exams themselves are actually administered through Pearson VUE and Prometric testing centers. In addition to certification, CompTIA also provides corporate membership. A+The A+ certification demonstrates competency as a computer technician. It requires two tests to be passed; a hardware test (often called the "core" exam), and an operating systems test, which focuses exclusively on Microsoft operating systems. The A+ exam is intended for information technology professionals who have the equivalent of 500 hours of hands-on experience. The exams are computer-based and are composed of multiple choice questions, of which there may be more than one correct answer. Topics of the Core examination include IRQs, direct memory access, practical computer repair, including installing or repairing: hard drives, modems, network cards, CPUs, power supplies, printers, etc. The focus of the exam is not theory, but practice. Often graphics (which have often been criticized as being of poor quality) are used in exam questions. Topics included in the Operating Systems Exam include: memory management, configuration files, and historical operating environments rather than the cutting edge, newer technologies. Most of the people taking the A+ exam regard the Core exam as the more important, as it certifies them as a professional technician. The operating system exam is covered in much greater detail in the MCP exams and so there is less prestige in passing it; thus the A+ is primarily considered as a hardware exam. Network+Network+ is a certification that demonstrates skill as a network technician: understanding of network hardware, installation, and troubleshooting. Network+ prepares one for continuing to Microsoft certifications and Cisco certifications. A combination A+/Network+ or A+/Server+ certification can fulfill the elective exam requirement of the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification. Server+Server+ is a certification that focuses on server-specific hardware and operating systems. Michael Meyers calls Server+ "a natural lead-in to Cisco certifications." A combination A+/Network+ or A+/Server+ certification can fulfill the elective exam requirement of the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) certification. Security+Security+ is a certification dealing with computer security topics such as cryptography and access control. Currently, according to CompTIA, there are roughly 19,000 people around the world who have earned this certification. HTI+Home Technology Integrator (HTI+) covers installation, integration and troubleshooting of automated home sub-systems. e-Biz+The e-Biz+ certification covers basic knowledge about e-commerce. The e-Biz+ certification has been discontinued in English but can still be taken in Japanese. CTT+CTT+ is a certification for training professionals in the computer industry and other industries. CDIA+Certified Document Imaging Architech ("architech" is spelled that way intentionally), or CDIA+, is a certification for competency in document imaging, document management and enterprise content management. Linux+Linux+ is a certification of knowledge of Linux operating systems, from their installation and use to the basics of applicable free software and open source licenses. The Linux+ exam is intended for information technology professionals who have between six to twelve months of practical experience using Linux. The exam is broken down into several areas of Linux expertise: installation, management, configuration, security, documentation, and hardware. The test is Computer-based multiple-choice exam, with a question followed by four possible answers, at least of one (but possibly more) of which must be correct. Common subject matter for exam topics include installation methods, boot loader configuration, managing packages (Debian and RPM management systems are covered), navigating directories via the command line, using the bash shell, security considerations, network administration including TCP/IP configuratuion), mounting filesystems (such as NFS, SMB or ext3) and managing configuration files for the more common applications that Linux servers are expected to run. Although configuring and running the X Window system is included in the formal exam objectives, there are rarely any questions pertaining to this as the exam focuses on Linux as a server and network operating system rather than for use as a desktop platform. The Linux+ exam has undergone some criticism since its inception, due to the excessive amount of hardware-related questions that were on the exam initially, many of which were covered on the A+ exam. The newest version of the exam, available as of February 2005, does away with this problem. The Linux+ has not proven to be very popular among IT professionals, primarily because of the much greater level of difficulty of the RHCE exam and the higher skill level required to pass it, as well as the popularity of the Red Hat Linux Distribution, whereas the Linux+ exam is designed to remain vendor-neutral. Although aimed at technicians rather than system administrators, the LPI exams, which go into much greater depth, also provide a lot of competition for this exam. i-Net+The i-Net+ certification deals with basic knowledge of "Internet, Intranet, Extranet and e-commerce technologies". Topics on the exam include distinguishing between server-side and client-side scripting, basic networking via command line, E-commerce, and E-business, security via digital signatures, copyright licenses including the GPL and basic HTML coding. Project+Project+ is a certification showing that one has the knowledge needed to manage projects External links
