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
"This was my second time at Firebrand Training and the experience was great. It was hard work but worth it in the end."
Gavin Yon, Cable & Wireless SA Ltd.
Cisco CCNA Certification (6 Days) (28/7/2008 to 2/8/2008)
"Firebrand provided the full ensemble for the perfect learning environment. Even the weather! For the busy PM, this was the perfect package - all provided in one phone call! "
Lisa Callaghan, Energy Solutions International.
PMI Project Management Professional (5 Days) (14/7/2008 to 18/7/2008)
"Accelerated learning was the best way of getting trained and certified as you are fully immersed for the whole length of the course."
Christopher Frith, Landmarc Support Services Ltd.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web Applications (7 Days) (23/6/2008 to 29/6/2008)
"An excellent course. The pacing was just right, with several long days of lectures, but with time always being made available for additional reading and lab work, which is essential on a course like this. Despite not completing all the exams yet (I decided to defer the Windows 2008 exams in order to get some more hands on experience with some of the areas I had previously had little exposure to), I will leave the course with a lot more confidence and knowledge than when I came. With a little bit more self study I should be able to successfully complete the exams.
The instructor was excellent and made the course very enjoyable. He had vast amounts of real world experience which is always invaluable and was more than happy to elaborate on any questions raised.
The whole team at Firebrand were friendly and made the whole prospect of being away from home for 2 weeks much easier than I had anticipated. The food was also varied and of a very high quality.
Despite being very apprehensive about attending the course beforehand, I would not hesitate to recommend Firebrand as an effective training solution, and I hope to return to do additional courses in the future!"
Michael Dutton, CP Kelco UK Ltd.

"As I could not be out of the office for two consecutive weeks, I was able to split the training course in two parts. I have completed the first week and passed all three exams - an excellent way to achieve the qualifications I sought. You do need real world experience though as this course is too intense for beginners."
CM, Edenbrook Ltd.

Ray Thirlaway, Steria.
(ISC)2 CISSP Boot Camp (7 Days) (12/5/2008 to 18/5/2008)
"Learning via Firebrand trainging is indeed very immersive and certainly accelerated. If you need to know a topic and you need to know it now then Firebrand is definately the training provider you should choose.
It is not for the faint of heart... you have to sit an learn for the entire time you attend the camp... but that is an excellent way to get to know something quickly."
SD, Dolphin Music.
Microsoft MCTS .NET - Web and Windows Applications (9 Days) (14/7/2008 to 22/7/2008)
"Although the course involved a LOT of work, I could not have wished for a better location and environment for my training, nor could I have asked for better people to get me through it in such a short timescale. My advice to future students is prepare!"
Ralph Carter, AIM technology.

SF, Ernst and Young Ltd.
PRINCE2 Foundation/Practitioner (5 Days) (28/7/2008 to 1/8/2008)
"Certainly this was an experience and a half. Never done any boot camps before, but once you are in there the intensity of it all does hit you at first, then you adapt and focus yourself to the training/studying.
Relaxing/chilling out was very little as you are constantly working. If you want an environment to study without disruption, then Firebrand Training is the place, but be prepared it does knacker you out though!"
