The CompTIA Certification Advisory Committees are a select group of individuals who provide advice and guidance to CompTIA regarding the relevance, accuracy, and other major aspects of the CompTIA certifications. They provide guidance on how to effectively widen the expansion of these certifications to ensure a qualified and efficient global workforce.
The CompTIA CAC has a different purpose than the exam development SMEs. Whereas exam development SMEs assist with item writing and attend JTA workshops to build exams, CAC members provide more general, high-level feedback about the job role and job skills to champion the certification's adoption within the industry. Regarding recruitment, exam development SMEs apply on the CompTIA website, whereas CAC members are appointed.
