If you're looking to pursue a new career in tech or see if a career change is right for you, knowing where to start can be a challenge. You might feel overwhelmed by all the options or wonder if you'll enjoy working in tech. By learning the basic building blocks of technology, you can put yourself on the path to success and feel confident about making your move to tech.
New tech pro Steve Manhertz spent a long time contemplating his decision to make a career change. In 2019, finally made his move and started learning CompTIA IT fundamentals. While different learning methods work for different people, Steve chose to self-study by combining CompTIA online training with books. After passing the exam and earning his CompTIA IT Fundamentals (CompTIA ITF+) certification, he had the skills, knowledge and confidence he needed to begin working in tech.
"I wanted a career I could expand," says Steve Manhertz. "I was drawn to the tech industry because it's challenging and there are many areas of specialization to choose from."
CompTIA Tech+ is an upgrade of our CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) training and certification, which will be retiring in 2025. If you have a CompTIA ITF+ certification, you don't need to take Tech+ as you already have the skills you need to move on to a higher certification. Depending on your new career goals, CompTIA A+ is a great next step.
Starting a new career can be intimidating but learning CompTIA IT fundamentals can help you talk the talk - and walk the walk. Tech+ is the only pre-career training and certification that covers all areas of tech foundations. Best of all, you don't need tech experience, a degree, or advanced math skills.
