A+ Certification for Information Technology Students

What is A+ Certification?

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. Earning A+ Certification means that you possess the knowledge, skills and customer relations skills essential for a successful computer service technician, as defined by experts from companies across the industry.

Why Certification is Important

Recognized proof of professional achievement

The A+ credential validates that the holder has reached a level of competence commonly accepted and valued by the industry. The A+ certification is known throughout the technology community as one of the best ways to break into the Information Technology field and build a solid career.

Enhanced job opportunities

Many employers give preference in hiring applicants with A+ Certification. Some employers may require A+ as a condition of employment. They view A+ certification as proof that the new hire knows the procedures and technologies required to be a successful computer service technician. Having certified proof of your skills and knowledge gives you the edge over other candidates when you're applying for a job.

Opportunity for advancement

The A+ certification can be a plus when an employer awards job advancements and promotions.

"When I first approached CCNN, I was looking for a "fast track" to A+ certification. After speaking with an admissions representative, I decided to enroll in the Electronic Engineering and Computer Technology Associate Degree program. The wide variety of subjects covered in the program promised to build a broad knowledge base that would enable me to expand into virtually any aspect of the ET/IT field. I am happy to have made this choice, as I now have more doors open to me than ever before."
