WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE SAYING

"As an employer, you don’t know if younger candidates have only touched the equipment for only 10 minutes in the classroom. With a CompTIA certification, you get a great idea of the skill levels. It puts a mark that says this person has the skill, this person has the knowledge and this person has the commitment to have bothered to do the course."

QCF

Ofqual, together with its partner regulators in Wales (DCELLS) and Northern Ireland (CCEA), is responsible for regulation of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).

The QCF is a system for recognising skills and qualifications. It does this by awarding credit for qualifications and units (small steps of learning). Each unit has a credit value. This value specifies the number of credits gained by learners who complete that unit.  

CompTIA certifications are mapped to the QCF to allow learners to gain qualifications at their own pace along routes that suit them best.
