Students Receive a Mark of Accomplishment

When students gain the opportunity to earn certificates, they gain a new way to succeed academically. Certifications stand apart from GPAs and letter grades; no matter how students perform in other courses or semesters, they can hold onto a certificate as a separate sign of accomplishment.

Students Gain a Competitive Edge in Future Endeavors.

Extracurricular activities are essential — especially for university admissions. Including certifications on their applications help students stand out in the sea of applicants.

Prove Your Skills and Knowledge

Certifications offer a way for you to prove to potential employers, or your current employer, that you have the skills you say you do. They don’t simply test what you know, but also how to perform tasks and how to approach problem-solving. For example, CompTIA certifications include performance-based questions that test your hands-on skills by requiring you to perform certain tasks.
