“The value of a CompTIA certification can literally be a life-changing thing.” Wheatland shares. “People are getting jobs when they’ve done one or two certifications and moving away from their dead-end job to working somewhere where they do find it interesting, where they do have fun, where they are actually valued as an employee.”

Reach your organizational goals with the right resources and support
Gilbert Nyandeje, CEO of Africa Cyber Defense Forum, a continental platform that brings together organizations in the private and public sector, is on a mission to make tech education and skills development more accessible to his region.
His programs have ambitious goals of helping his learners succeed. Take for example his CyberGen program, which aims to train 100,000 cybersecurity professionals who can enter or advance in the job market over the next ten years. Along with providing learners access to quality cybersecurity education, his organization values cybersecurity training programs that promote accessible career advancement opportunities that would have otherwise been unavailable. Nyandeje explains, “Certifications are always a barrier to entry for those who are trying to get into the industry. CompTIA is an organization that is heavily doing a lot of work on competence building and building the skills. There was no better organization or a better partner we could have had.”

Their training services have helped learners and tech professionals grow in their careers. His organization provides defined career pathways for professionals to explore.

The streamlined training process and resources CompTIA brings to his organization are unmatched Robinson explains. “One of the best things about being a partner is the access we have to great learning content, great labs, and great certificates.” He adds, “Without great content, you can’t build a good training and that is what CompTIA gives us.”
