Erin Waterman, Career Changer Retail to Tech

“The holistic attitude CompTIA has, how they stay with students and have the alumni program, that’s what really sets it apart."

Teela Moua, Network Engineer

“If you don’t have any job experience or a connection in that field, nobody is going to hire you. So, obtaining a CompTIA certification that said, ’I know what I am talking about’ was very important.”
