CompTIA career ladder

Where Tech+ sits in your team's CompTIA progression

The cert your team is on now, plus the levels above and below. Use this to map an engineer's next-step credential or to plan headcount coverage across tiers.

Customer outcome

Build FC0-U71 capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Tech+ course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished — the view leadership uses to see CompTIA skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make FC0-U71 a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on FC0-U71 gives leadership a clear picture of CompTIA skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about Tech+ training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Tech+ training for their team.

How does Tech+ fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

IT leaders often cite Tech+ when documenting that entry-level staff share a common baseline in devices, internal components, networking, virtualization and cloud services. CBT Nuggets team reporting provides per-learner progress and completion exports that can serve as training evidence, while the auditor's control crosswalk determines the formal mapping to any framework.

Who on the team should hold Tech+, and what can a certified team own?

Tech+ suits new help desk and desktop support hires, interns, and staff moving into IT from adjacent roles. The linked CompTIA Tech+ course covers computing devices and specialty devices, motherboard, BIOS, CPU, GPU, RAM and NIC components, storage, printer configuration, peripherals and power protection, video connectors, internet service types, virtualization, and cloud services. A certified team can take first-line ownership of device setup, component and peripheral issues, and basic connectivity questions.

What does CBT Nuggets Tech+ training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets Tech+ courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to CompTIA's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track Tech+ training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the Tech+ courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on Tech+?

The linked CompTIA Tech+ training runs about 37 hours of video. Actual time to certify depends on each team member's starting point and how much time they can give the course alongside their regular work, and team reporting shows per-learner progress and completion along the way.

What if CompTIA updates the Tech+ exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates CompTIA course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When CompTIA restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
