CompTIA Revamps the Authorized Service Center Program

After investing the time and energy to achieve your CompTIA certification goals, would you sit back and wait for new clients to knock on your door? Of course not! Most solution providers want to leverage their new skills and use this recognition to improve their revenue and industry standing— but what’s the best way to accomplish that objective?



One proven method is to take an additional step and get your CompTIA Authorized Service Center (ASC) credential, which will not only validate your organization's level of technical certification, but serve as a significant competitive differentiator. The ASC designation shows that your company employs proficient IT professionals and offers the quality support needed to meet the ever-changing needs of your clients. And since CompTIA certifications are considered an industry standard for skills training, this credential helps promote your company’s participation in these valued technical education programs.

With that in mind, CompTIA recently enhanced both the ASC program and the website where participants can access its promotional materials and other marketing resources. Those upgrades include online renewal and payment, email payment reminders and electronic invoices, improved profile management, and the ability to assign contacts for multiple company locations. ASC members also can tag technicians to specific sites and order promotional signage from an online catalog. The feature sure to garner the most attention is the addition of public pages, which describe the benefits of working with ASC-accredited companies to your customers!

In the end, the value of any training and certification program is to create exclusivity, giving those who complete the process a step up from their competition. The ASC program is about substance, showing your clients that your staff has the knowledge and skills to develop and manage their IT infrastructure and business systems. The program logo signifies more than your membership in an elite professional IT program; it demonstrates that you and your employees take pride in the work you do (and can prove it).
