CompTIA launches contest, gives chance to win A+ training

DOWNERS GROVE, USA: CompTIA, the vendor neutral skills certifications provider for information technology (IT) professionals, and dozens of its industry partners are teaming up to give someone the chance to "Be One in a Million."

Sometime this year CompTIA A+ will reach a momentous milestone - one million certifications awarded. To mark this historic occasion, CompTIA and its content and training partners will award hundreds of CompTIA A+-related prizes, culminating in a grand prize of a one-in-a-million experience.

The first CompTIA A+ Be One in a Million contest continues through March 31, 2014.

Over that time, 150 CompTIA A+ certification training prizes will be awarded, including e-learning, practice tests, instructor-led courses and more. Prize winners will be selected by random drawing on April 7, 2014.

"Hundreds of thousands of IT professionals around the world have relied on CompTIA A+ as an entry point to the IT workforce and a stepping-stone for career advancement," said Terry Erdle, executive vice president, skills certification, CompTIA.

"More than two decades after its creation, CompTIA A+ still holds its standing in the industry as the best, first step an individual can take to launch a career in IT."

Complete details of CompTIA content and training partners participating in the A+ Be One in a Million promotion is available on the website.
