Comptia

Education, Certification, Advocacy and Philanthropy- These four things are the focus of CompTIA. We are the voice of the world’s information technology (IT) industry.
As a non-profit trade association, advancing the global interests of IT professionals and companies is our goal.
Our core value system is simple:• Educate the IT Community: Our vast educational resources of online guides, webinars, market research, business mentoring, open forums and networking events are all tools we offer to help our members grow their businesses. Being a part of of CompTIA means being “best in class” in your IT business.

• Certify the IT Workforce: We are the leading provider of technology-neutral and vendor-neutral IT certifications.

• Advocate on behalf of the IT industry: On Capitol Hill, we bring power to small and medium sized IT businesses to bear as one united voice.

• Giving Back to communities by being of service. Philanthropy is the basis for future success. Our foundation enables disadvantaged populations to gain the skills they need for employment in the IT industry.

Our vision of the IT landscape has been shaped by more than 25 years of global perspective. We are over 2,000 members and 1,000 business partners strong. Member driven and led by an elected board of industry professionals, we work together to create one vision. All proceeds are directly reinvested in programs that benefit our valued members and the industry as a whole. Outside of Chicago, we have offices across the United States. We also have branches in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
