CompTIA Certifications
Vendor-neutral IT certifications — the industry standard for foundational security, networking, and IT operations skills.
Security+
The global benchmark for entry-level cybersecurity skills. Validates the core knowledge required to assess security posture, monitor and secure hybrid environments, identify threats and vulnerabilities, and operate with an awareness of governance, risk, and compliance.
Network+
The vendor-neutral benchmark for networking skills. Validates the ability to design, configure, manage, secure, and troubleshoot wired and wireless networks — from cabling and IP addressing to routing, switching, cloud connectivity, and network security.
A+
The industry-standard credential for launching an IT support career. Earned by passing two exams — Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202) — it validates hands-on skills across hardware, networking, mobile devices, virtualization and cloud, operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures.
CySA+
The intermediate, hands-on cybersecurity analyst certification. Validates the skills to detect and analyze malicious activity, manage vulnerabilities end to end, respond to incidents, and communicate findings — the blue-team next step after Security+.
PenTest+
The intermediate, hands-on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment certification. Validates the skills to plan and scope engagements, gather information and scan for vulnerabilities, exploit and pivot through systems and applications, use core pentesting tools, and report findings — the offensive (red-team) counterpart to CySA+.
