CompTIA Project+

CompTIA Project+ gives IT Pros the basic concepts to successfully manage small to medium-sized projects.

About the Certification

Why is it different?

CompTIA Project+ is ideal for IT professionals who need to manage smaller, less complex projects as part of their other job duties but still have foundational project management skills. Project+ is more versatile than other certifications because it covers essential project management concepts beyond the scope of just one methodology or framework.
