“Students and their instructors have put in long hours studying in anticipation of earning a CompTIA certification, only to see their preparations put on hold when schools closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said John McGlinchey, executive vice president for global certifications at CompTIA. “With free access to CertMaster Practice, we’re encouraging students to build on what they’ve learned in the classroom so they’re confident and prepared when the time comes to take their certification exam.”
“We are excited to be joining forces with CompTIA and their partners in assisting students during these uncertain times. CertMaster Practice is an engaging and effective learning tool that will allow these students to master the concepts needed to pass the certification exam and excel in their new careers,” said Greg Simmons, senior vice president, Amplifire Advanced Education.
Beginning on April 15 CompTIA will offer an online testing delivery option for its certification exams via Parson VUE’s OnVUE remote proctoring solution.
“Students can learn, practice and test at home with full confidence that they’re doing so on a highly-secure system that’s available anytime and anywhere,” McGlinchey said.
