Introduction
CompTIA Data+ is an early-career data analytics certification for professionals tasked with developing and promoting data-driven business decision-making. Data+ is an ideal certification for not only data-specific careers but other career paths outside of IT can also benefit from analytics processes and data analytics knowledge.
CompTIA Data+ gives your team members the confidence to bring data analysis to life. As the importance for data analytics grows, more job roles are required to set context and better communicate vital business intelligence. Collecting, analysing, and reporting on data can drive your organization’s priorities and lead business decision-making.
CompTIA Data+ is the only data analyst certification that covers baseline data analytics skills, assesses hands-on abilities and is vendor neutral. Vendor-neutral certifications provide analyst skills needed to perform various job roles regardless of the specific programs and tools being used. Compare this to vendor-specific certifications, which equip your team to work with just one platform (such as SAS, Tableau, or Microsoft).
