CompTIA A+ Certification

"CompTIA A+ certification is a requirement of Ricoh's career ladder for our direct service professionals and we strongly encourage A+ certification for our indirect partners. End users (customers) are more knowledgeable today about the IT industry and therefore have much more confidence in a technician with CompTIA A+ certification."
