CompTIA Core Certifications

CompTIA Core Certifications are for beginners and entry-level IT professionals.

There are four CompTIA Core Certifications:
CompTIA IT Fundamentals+
CompTIA A+
CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Security+

CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and CompTIA Security+ are all DoD 8570.01-M-approved certifications.

CompTIA provides vendor-neutral certifications that validate candidates have achieved a specific level of expertise that can be applied universally, regardless of vendor. For example, someone with CompTIA Network+ certification should apply their knowledge and skills to Cisco or Juniper networking technologies — at a basic level.

The CompTIA certification program encompasses certs in four categories:
Core
Infrastructure
Cybersecurity
Professional

In their CompTIA Certification Roadmap, CompTIA sees the three technical certification categories as a progression — as IT professionals build on their skills from Core to Infrastructure and then to Cybersecurity.
A number of the certs on the CompTIA Certification list are U.S. Department of Defense-approved baseline certifications (DoD 8570.01-M). This can provide certified professionals with job opportunities in the Federal Government sector.
