Compaq Certification Training Boosts Resumes

Although a vendor-neutral A+ certification offers sufficient credentials for many computer professionals, a growing number of employers now seek technologists with specific knowledge of their preferred hardware and software.

HP currently offers certification for hardware sold under its Compaq brand, continuing the certification Compaq started earlier in its company history.

Students in Compaq certification courses learn how to use a combination of proprietary and open-source tools in a variety of settings. For example, many Compaq certified computer professionals work as systems administrators for large companies or educational institutions. Other Compaq-certified technicians work on consumer machines, either on-site at the homes of customers or at convenient technical support centers. In both cases, customers and hiring officers prefer to work with professionals who have proven themselves at working with Compaq hardware.
