CompTIA, Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+)

CompTIA CTT+ certification is the credential recognizing excellence in instruction. It is a vendor-neutral certification that is applicable to training professionals in all industries. CompTIA CTT+ proves the mastery of core instructor skills, including preparation, presentation, communication, facilitation and evaluation in a classroom environment.

The CTT+ certificate is a cross-industry credential providing recognition that a technical instructor has attained a standard of excellence in the training industry. Trainers must demonstrate a thorough knowledge and ability to train adults in technical and software subjects. Each trainer must pass an intensive written exam on training techniques and concepts based on the Instructor competencies manual of the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction. A panel of judges evaluates each trainer’s ability to teach while watching them in a classroom setting. If candidates successfully complete both parts of the certification process, they become Certified Technical Trainers (CTT).
