Sun info systems smart training and the certification of CompTIA (A+) has given me a greater edge in my career.
Owing to my international certification everyone in the world can recognize my skills.
I personally feel COMPTIA A+ is one of the best certification in the world where your knowledge is tested.
In fact I would rate this certification higher than many other vendor certifications as this certification tests candidate knowledge on all fields of Information technology and not on one particular domain. It is a gate pass for your first Job.
I would like to thank CompTIA from the bottom of my heart for enhancing my life and blessing me with a better future. I know thanks is very small word for whatever COMPTIA did for me, i found myself end of words when it comes to express my gratitude for COMPTIA.
