What is CompTIA Tech+ training? Is it worth it?

CompTIA Tech+ is the new entry-level certification from CompTIA, replacing ITF+. It validates your ability to work across essential IT domains like hardware, networking, cybersecurity, and operating systems.

It’s absolutely worth it if you’re exploring a career in IT. CompTIA Tech+ opens the door to entry-level roles such as IT support specialist, help desk technician, and junior systems analyst, positions that typically lead to more advanced opportunities. According to CompTIA, IT support specialists earn an average of $57,000 annually in the U.S., and with continued certification (A+, Network+, Security+), salaries can grow into the $70K–$90K+ range as you advance into network administration, cybersecurity, or cloud roles.

By earning Tech+, you’re not only proving your readiness for IT, but also positioning yourself for a long-term career path in one of the fastest-growing job sectors worldwide.

What’s the difference between CompTIA Tech+ and CompTIA ITF+?

CompTIA ITF+ was an introductory certification focused on basic tech literacy, helping learners explore whether IT might be right for them. CompTIA Tech+ replaces ITF+ and goes further by validating career-ready skills in hardware, networking, cybersecurity, operating systems, databases, and coding. Tech+ is designed not just for exploration, but as a true entry point into IT career paths and advanced certifications like A+.

Will this course help me troubleshoot and resolve IT issues?

Yes. You’ll learn how to diagnose and fix common hardware and software problems, preparing you with skills that apply both personally and professionally.

Is CompTIA Tech+ a good place to start if I’m new to IT?

Yes. CompTIA Tech+ is designed specifically for beginners and career changers who may have little to no prior IT experience. It validates core skills across hardware, networking, cybersecurity, and more, helping you confirm whether IT is the right career path before moving on to advanced certifications like A+. This makes it the safest and most effective starting point in the CompTIA certification pathway.

Does this course prepare me for the CompTIA Tech+ FC0-U71 certification exam?

Yes. This training prepares you for the CompTIA Tech+ FC0-U71 certification exam. An optional exam voucher for the FC0-U71 exam can be added to your enrollment.
