No matter where you are in your career or what you want to do next, CompTIA has a plethora of resources to help you get there. Check out these 12 resources from CompTIA to help propel your career. We've sorted them into four categories for easy navigation: skills development and continuing education, industry and career information, networking with IT pros and job search. Click on the links above to go directly to those categories, or peruse the entire list.
Skills Development and Continuing Education
CertMaster
CompTIA CertMaster and CompTIA CertMaster CE are online learning tools that help you prepare for your next certification and renew existing certifications. CompTIA CertMaster guides you through course material, adjusting as you answer questions to focus on what you need to learn, not what you already know. CompTIA CertMaster CE bridges the content gap between the exam you took to earn your certification and the latest release.
KnowledgePath CE
KnowledgePath CE is a self-paced learning course that helps you earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) as you read through curated content and complete assignments and quizzes to assess your learning.
Webinars
CompTIA hosts quarterly IT Pro Webinars where you can earn while hearing from experts in the field on a wide variety of topics. Check out upcoming webinars as well as on-demand webinars that you can watch in your own time.
Industry and Career Information
CompTIA Blogs
In addition to IT Career News, which covers IT careers and certifications, CompTIA has several other blogs that can enhance your understanding of the IT industry. The CompTIA Blog covers IT industry news and trends. The IT Advocacy Blog highlights CompTIA’s public policy efforts and legislation related to the tech industry. And the Creating IT Futures Blog highlights the work of Creating IT Futures, a nonprofit established by CompTIA, as well as more career advice.
IT Careers Newsletter
