It use to be that CompTIA had an area on their site where you could report bad techs that were A+ certified. I have since been there and found there is no mention of where to report shoddy techs. They have gone to a strictly money making diploma mill.
Where I work we hired two techs that supposedly are A+ certified. What kind of people are they letting get certifications? These guys don’t even know what ESD safety is. I own my own PC repair business, I also work at this retailer for benefits. One day I go walking through the tech dept (I work sales there to keep from a conflict of interest) and they ask *ME* how to get a hard drive out of the laptop they are working on….What? certified by who? how did these people pass?!?!?!
CompTIA has no where to report incompetence so they can maintain the integrity of their certifications.
Sorry CompTIA I’d never use your certifications as a pass or fail in consideration of hiring someone since my non-tech trained daughter knows more about how to properly service a PC than these A+ certified idiots!
