Assess

One-Stop Centers offer preliminary assessments through our partner, MeasureUp. These aptitude tests measure your technical knowledge and ability, and will help determine if you should pursue a career in IT. You will also receive recommendations for training for CompTIA certification exams.

Which best describes you?

I have used computer technology, but have never had any formal training.

Take the Technical Assessment

  • What it measures: if a candidate is suited for a career in IT 
  • A high score means: Candidate should advance to IT training
  • A low score means: Candidate may not be suited for an IT career

 I have had training on the skills covered in CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ or CompTIA Security+, but have not taken an exam.  

Take the Certification Skills Assessment

  • What it measures: if a candidate has the knowledge to pass a CompTIA certification 
  • A high score means: Candidate should take a CompTIA certification exam
  • A low score means: an IT training course, such as through a community college, is suggested before testing

Certifications like CompTIA A+ are a very good way of ensuring everyone reaches a common level of understanding. It allows us to set a course benchmark from which everyone can proceed with their learning.
