The Good News
Concise Courses offers FREE CompTIA Continuing Education courses and programs! All our courses are contained within our mobile responsive learning management system and our current diet of courses are awesome and importantly they are fully up to date and security-focused.
Why Continuing Education?
It’s our view that CompTIA have made the right move. Let’s face the obvious point here i.e. that IT,especially information security changes at a frantic pace.And so,what’s valid today can definitely become outdated tomorrow need we mention Zero Days! Three years is indeed a long time in information technology and from all the professions that exist out there the one that will need constant continuing education is cyber security, hence the focus that CompTIA places on the necessity of continued learning.
It’s Not Just CompTIA!
All major safety bodies, members offer awards and certifications insist on continuing education.ISC2, Mile2, ISACA and EC-Council all have terms providing its members need to complete continuing education credits to maintain their active membership.When it re-certification in question is obtained as CompTIA and appear on the certificate and indicate that the student (member) completed the training program required new CE-marked.
CompTIA Continuing Education Is Good For both Employers and Employees
Employees taking continuing education (refreshing their knowledge and sharpening their skills) show that they are committed to their chosen career.Taking the exam again within those three years,or joining a program shows that they are always open to new ideas and thoughts.Additionally,it demonstrates the right attitude in today’s tough job market.
Most employers will often fund the costs towards the CompTIA continuing education requirement of their employees, and award them with higher salaries once they have completed their re certification, provided of course they decide to continue working with the same employer.It’s really a win-win situation for everybody. Needless to say that most employers will also grant the student ‘study-time!

Another Change in CompTIA
CompTIA has made another change in recent times: from January 1st 2014, there is absolutely no restriction on the number or amount of CEUs (Continuing Education Units) you need to do for your training. This move has been welcomed by our students.This change was made effective on March 15th 2014, so, the certification would now be reinstated for any person who was de-certified before because they exceeded the cap that was previously there. It is valid even for those who are now trying to renew their CompTIA certifications through a CompTIA continuing education program.
