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
"It has been a long and intense course, but certainly worth the eight sleepless nights!
I learnt a massive amount on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 in this period...
Also had the good fortune to have a fantastic group of fellow students, who were able to make at least a few drinks every evening after a days worth of coursework.
This week has been the epitome of the old cliche "work hard, play hard"!"

Our trainer, instilled in me a craving to gain knowledge to a level I did not know I was able attain in such a short space of time. As a result of this experience, I intend to continue with the Cisco accreditation processes and proceed with further education, and I sincerely hope trainers with the calibre of the trainer I had will be available to encourage and inspire me.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (8 Days) (11/5/2008 to 18/5/2008)
"The pre-course reading / preparation is essential to success at Firebrand. I would even recommend you go a bit further into the subject to prepare yourself mentally for the course. I can see now that for high-level certs, having no experience in the field would almost make it impossible to pass the exams.
The A+ and N+ were hard enough - those with absolutely no experience of corporate servers and network will find it tough (but not impossible). However, the Training Centre is excellent and the staff are legendary. You will certainly not regret coming, even if you don't come away with all your certs. I would cetainly come back - but only if I felt properly prepared for the course."
Dan Clarkson, Synergy (Agency Worker).
