CompTIA Research Panel Information

What is the CompTIA Research Panel?
This panel exists for CompTIA and market research companies to connect with important people such as you for research purposes only. It was created to further interact with the valuable individuals who visit the CompTIA Web site--primarily current and future IT professionals.

Why should I join the panel?
Participating on this panel will provide an effective and efficient way for letting your vital opinions be known to IT industry leaders. This in-turn allows for organizations to offer and improve upon products and services that matter most to you.

Who is on the panel?
Panel participants consist of current and potential IT professionals who have opted-in via completing the sign-up questionnaire on the CompTIA Web site. Link to questionnaire: Click Here.

Who has access to this panel?
CompTIA and only its trusted third-party research companies (via purchase) will have the right to send research study invitations to panel participants. When you complete the sign-up questionnaire, you will then be able to choose from whom you want to receive invitations (CompTIA and/or market research companies) and by which method(s), e.g. e-mail, telephone, mail.

What are the requirements to join and remain on the panel?
None, beyond completing the brief sign-up questionnaire here. You are not required to respond to any research invitations. However, your contact information needs to be kept up-to-date so you can continue to receive the invitations. If at any time you decide to opt-out of the panel, you may just send an e-mail to research@comptia.org requesting so. Also, on every electronic research study invitation you will be provided with instructions for opting-out.

What is my reward for participating?
Your primary reward for participating is letting IT industry decision-makers know your opinions on a variety of interesting topics. While CompTIA does not directly give rewards for joining such as points, prizes or money, CompTIA and third-party research firms may offer various rewards on select studies, most commonly in the form of sweepstakes in which a determined number of winners (particular study participants) are randomly drawn.

Is my information safe with CompTIA?
Yes. As a leading IT association, CompTIA takes communication, security, and research practices very seriously.

Who should I contact if I have questions about participating on or accessing the panel?
Just send an e-mail with your question(s) to research@comptia.org.
