CompTIA Security Training

The CompTIA is basically a non-profit alliance; it is known for providing IT-based certifications to IT professionals. It provides IT professionals with vendor-neutral certifications. Such certifications are meant for those who want to excel in their IT career and who are planning to enter the world of IT.

The CompTIA actually stands for Computer Technology Industry Association, and it is seen as a trade association. And as mentioned in the above paragraph, this association is completely a non-profitable association.

The CompTIA is known for providing IT-based certification across the globe. Approximately 2.2 million individuals have achieved CompTIA certification all over the world. This certification is one of the most reputed and well-recognized certifications in the world of Information Technology.

The CompTIA was formed in the year 1982. At first, it was called ABCD or Association of Better Computer Dealers. In order to, widen its reach, CompTIA developed to become a hybrid version. This allowed the CompTIA to adopt the open-access model back in 2014. This move was basically taken for the betterment of paid members. At the beginning of this move, there was a total of 2,050 paid members. But by 2015, it expanded in a broad manner and gained about 50,000 paid members in that year. And then by the beginning of 2016, the number of paid members increased up to 100,000.

And since then, the CompTIA has never looked back. As CompTIA achieved such massive expansion, the demand for the CompTIA certifications increased rapidly in the market.
