The CompTIA Essentials Series is designed to boost foundational
technological competence across a range of job roles, in both
tech-specific positions and adjacent occupations that rely on
technology. Scheduled for release in July
2024, CompTIA AI Essentials will help learners understand
the landscape of AI, the tools that are available and how they may
best be applied, challenges that may arise with AI usage, how AI
can enhance human work and creativity and potential future
implications of AI.
CompTIA Expansion Series focuses on building deeper advanced
skills for specific industries and job roles on top of an
underlying CompTIA Plus (+) or Pro certification (Sec AI+ as an
expansion to Security+ for example) allowing learners to keep up
with technological advancements without re-treading skills
previously acquired and frequently practiced.
Upcoming Expansion releases will address employer demands for AI
skills in various tech disciplines, starting with cyber engineering
(Security+), analytics (CySA+) and pen testing (PenTest+) job
roles. This involves exploring how AI and AI-enabled tools can
enhance cyber defense through quicker threat detection and response
while recognizing their potential in creating sophisticated
threats. Future CompTIA Expansions will focus on skillsets for
fully leveraging AI in systems operations, tech support, AI systems
architecture and prompt engineering.
