CompTIA IT Project+ - Overview
The CompTIA IT Project+ certification validates your knowledge and abilities as an IT project manager.
CompTIA IT Project+ certification is a vendor-neutral credential recognized worldwide. Having an IT Project+ certification is proof that you have the critical knowledge of business practices, interpersonal skills and project management processes, in addition to the ability to effectively plan, implement and complete IT projects on time and within your budget.
The IT Project+ Accelerated Certification Program is appropriate for the following job functions:
- Programmer, Senior Level
- Project Manager, Intermediate Level
- Project Manager, Entry Level
- Software Architect, Senior Level
Our CompTIA IT Project+ Program
- Allows you to achieve your certification in a fraction of the time of 'traditional training' while delivering industry-leading exam passing percentages
- Helps students grasp concepts more easily by identifying and catering to individual student learning styles through a mixed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic-tactual delivery system
- Enhances retention by employing accelerated learning techniques focused on committing information to long-term memory
CompTIA IT Project+ - Benefits
Reasons for Microsoft IT Project+ certification include career advancement, personal improvement, skills enhancement, and higher salaries.
The mean compensation for project managers in the United States is now $87,807. Project Managers on the West Coast fare even better, with mean salaries of almost $103,600. Overall, those who have received project management certification through professional associations earn about $5,000 a year more than those without certifications.
Individuals
Having proof of your skills and knowledge gives you the edge over other candidates when you're applying for a job, providing:
- Proof of professional achievement
- Better job opportunities
- A viable career path
- Foundational knowledge for additional certifications
Companies
Certification provides companies with skilled employees, leading to:
- Increasing customer satisfaction & repeat business
- Simplified recruiting and hiring
- Lower training costs
- Greater customer satisfaction
- Measurable competence standards
According to a recent survey developed by RHI Consulting, 23 percent of CIOs named project management as the area in which their staffs could use the most improvement.
Human Resources
- Employer-funded training and certification programs are a key to retaining skilled IT staff. Career development and advancement opportunities are shown to significantly reduce rates of employee turnover.
- Certification Training Programs provide benchmarks for hiring and promotion decisions by accurately assessing technical skills.
- For-certification training programs maximize educational investments through immediate validation of skills.
Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.
Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.
Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including
- Intensive group instruction
- One-on-one instruction attention
- Hands-on labs
- Lab partner and group exercises
- Question and answer drills
- Independent study
This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

IT Project+ Testimonials
"An excellent place to learn and get away from work, the 14+ hour days are long and hard but totally worth it."
Tom Lane, Logica.
Microsoft SharePoint Professional (Dual MCTS) (5 Days) (21/4/2008 to 25/4/2008)
"A poet could probably describe the experience better, but I'd start by saying the course was a relentless and torrential learning experience. From the day you arrive to the moment you leave, you are in a concentrated learning environment and you mind is assualted with education. I feel the use of aggressive adjectives is apt as you will learn, you will learn quickly and you don't have a choice in the matter, which is exceptional. Most people who require a course like this lead busy lives and don't have time away from work to learn new skills. It is ideal for the subject. I also wish that University was presented in a way like this. It would have been much more productive to complete a semester in 9 days than 6 months..."
Dustan Jones, Student.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web and Windows Applications (9 Days) (14/4/2008 to 22/4/2008)
"When they say intensive they mean it! 8:30 to 8:00 every day and 3 or 4 hours of homework every day. I have not worked this hard in a long long time. The breaks we did get meant eating the very good food, far top fast to enjoy it! Bring your MP3 player if you need music to study as it's quiet and beautiful surroundings are sometimes a bit too quiet!"
Richard Young, UBS AG .
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (31/3/2008 to 6/4/2008)

Great facilities away from any distractions."

Sarah Durham, Achilles Group Limited.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (26/5/2008 to 1/6/2008)
"I came very sceptical about what could be achieved in 14 days but had an amazing experience that exceeded my expectations. I am leaving today with my MCSE - nuff said! It's all down to a great instructor who left us with far more that just a piece of paper at the end of it and a great bunch of lads in my course who all pulled together to get through the collective highs and lows. Do your prereading and don't kid yourself this is easy - 8am till midnight in the labs every day is required - but put the effort in and it can be done. It's certainly not for beginners but if you have a good understanding of the concepts before you come you can do it. I wish you luck!"
