CompTIA Data+

CompTIA Data+ is an early-career data analytics certification for professionals tasked with developing and promoting data-driven business decision-making. Data+ is an ideal certification for not only data-specific careers but other career paths outside of IT can also benefit from analytics processes and data analytics knowledge.CompTIA Data+ gives your team members the confidence to bring data analysis to life. As the importance for data analytics grows, more job roles are required to set context and better communicate vital business intelligence. Collecting, analyzing, and reporting on data can drive your organization’s priorities and lead business decision-making.

CompTIA Data+ is the only data analyst certification that covers baseline data analytics skills, assesses hands-on abilities and is vendor neutral. Vendor-neutral certifications provide analyst skills needed to perform various job roles regardless of the specific programs and tools being used. Compare this to vendor-specific certifications, which equip your team to work with just one platform (such as SAS, Tableau, or Microsoft).

Anyone working in a role that analyses business-specific data, provides management with data analytics on business functions, or analyses and monitors dashboards, results and trends can benefit from becoming CompTIA Data+ certified. Its value extends well beyond the IT team to employees in finance, marketing, manufacturing, operations, sales and other departments tasked with data responsibilities.Individuals whom are early career and career- transioning individuals who may specialize in core business function, have hands-on experience with Data Analytics software (e.g., PowerBI, Tableau) or those who want responsibility for using data to illustrate business operations or performance.
