There are four steps to the certification process. First, you choose your certification, and then you begin learning about your chosen certification and explore the trainings that are available. The are CompTIA prep classes that occur in a one-on-one environment, utilizing the Live Learning Platform, are able to focus on the things that will benefit you the most. Utilizing this personalized prep can be a less stressful way to move through a Comp TIA class, as well as through the rest of the certification process.
Completing a CompTIA course with a knowledgeable tutor can help you to move forward toward your goal of obtaining certification. The third step is to learn about the certification exam, which is something you'll likely go over with the CompTIA certification tutor you are paired with, and the fourth step is to register and complete your certification exam.
