CompTIA A+
Covers endpoint troubleshooting, operating systems, hardware, and support fundamentals. It matches the customer-facing problem solving and technical triage work I already use most often.
Certifications
Current certifications supporting a practical technical foundation
These certs back up the hands-on work I am already doing in support, networking, troubleshooting, and practical security fundamentals.
CompTIA Network+
Reinforces the networking basics behind DNS, TCP/IP, routing, switching, and troubleshooting, which show up regularly in both lab work and practical security conversations.
CompTIA Security+
Validates security fundamentals across threats, vulnerabilities, architecture, operations, and risk, connecting the networking foundation to practical defensive work.
