CompTIA Certification: Benefits

CompTIA is a global provider of vendor neutral IT certifications, such as the popular A+, Network+, Security+ certifications. Most, if not all, CompTIA certifications are entry-level attracting students and those new to the IT field.

People who highlight their career credentials, such as CompTIA certifications, on their LinkedIn profile get six times more profile views than people who don’t, according to LinkedIn. Additionally, individuals who list their certifications get six times more inbound inquiries through LinkedIn that those who don’t have certifications listed.

“This enhanced listing functionality helps our certification holders raise the level of their credibility and visibility with prospective employers, recruiters and partners,” said Randy Gross, CIO, CompTIA.

In the first few days that the feature was available, nearly 1,200 CompTIA certification references were added to their LinkedIn profiles by certification holders.

“Hiring managers and HR professionals believe having IT job candidates with industry certifications saves time and resources in evaluating applicants, ensures a candidate’s credibility and demonstrates that they have a baseline set of knowledge,” Gross noted.

The biggest benefit of CompTIA certs is that they're not bound to a specific technology, like Microsoft, Cisco, VMware or other vendor specific certifications. They're also a good way for beginners to get a start in the IT field.
