Why is Tech+ different?
CompTIA Tech+ helps students decide if a career in IT is right for them or to develop a broader understanding of technology.
- Tech+ is the only pre-career certification that helps students or career changers determine if they have a competency for information technology and if it is the right career path for them.
- Tech+ is the only single certification that covers all areas of IT foundations, creating a broader understanding of technology and making it ideal for non-technical professionals.
- Tech+ establishes a technology education framework for students in secondary and post-secondary settings.
