CertMaster Competency Assessments

[Kevin Martin]

Looking for guidance for use of Competency Exams for CertMaster Perform courses. Are the Competency Assessments certs for courses like Pentest, CySA, Sec+, etc.. used by individuals or employers?

There is also practice exams in the courses that seem just as good if not a better tool for the student's to gauge their own level of preparedness before taking an actual certification exam.

Competency exams in the the CertMaster Perform courses are used by individuals to help prepare themselves for the actual certification exams. They can also be used, in an academic environment as a final exam for the course, if the certification exam is not used.

The CompTIA CertMaster Practice product is a great practice exam package that can help prepare students for the actual certification once they have completed their coursework. This tool allows students to focus in on particular domain they may need more practice with and offers timed exams to help them get used to working in the timed exam environment.

Employers will look for the CompTIA certifications as proof of job skill readiness, as they have industry recognition.

Hi @Nikita Umwali #1, there is not a single package that contains competency exams for all CompTIA certifications. Each course separately would have the competency exam as part of the courseware.
