CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) is a non-profit trade association that aims to provide vendor-neutral certification exams and professional development resources for individuals in the information technology (IT) industry. The organization was founded in 1982, and is headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois.

CompTIA offers a variety of vendor-neutral IT certifications, which are recognized as industry standards for measuring an individual's knowledge, skills and abilities in various areas of IT. These include the CompTIA A+ certification, which is widely recognized as a foundational certification for IT technicians, the CompTIA Network+ certification for networking professionals, and the CompTIA Security+ certification for IT security professionals.

The exams offered by CompTIA are designed to test an individual's knowledge of the technical concepts and best practices associated with a particular area of IT. They are designed to be vendor-neutral, which means they are not specific to any particular product or vendor.

In addition to providing certification exams, CompTIA also provides professional development resources such as training materials, study guides, and continuing education opportunities. It also conducts research on the IT industry and shares the results with its members and the broader IT community.

CompTIA certifications are widely recognized in the IT industry as an indication of an individual's knowledge, skills, and abilities. They are considered valuable for individuals looking to start or advance their career in IT, as well as for organizations that want to ensure their employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively perform their jobs.
