What is CompTIA?
The Computing Technology Industry Association, more commonly known as CompTIA, is an American non-profit trade association that issues professional certifications for the information technology industry. It is considered one of the IT industry’s top trade associations.
Lakewood University is a certified CompTIA education partner. This lets us help students schedule, prepare for, and pass the relevant certification exams. The first attempt at all four exams will be paid for by Lakewood University. In fact, the Ascend Courseware we have incorporated into these courses is designed to prepare students for the following CompTIA exams:
– A+ – Security + – Network + – Project +
Students are encouraged to take all four certification exams. If a student successfully passes the A+, Security+, and Network + exams, they will earn what is called a stackable certificate from CompTIA.
