A powerful CompTIA training and certification resource

TestOut's simulation-driven interactive courseware has guided learners to certification success for decades. TestOut courses are designed to effectively teach (IT) concepts in a simple and straightforward way.

With employer hiring activity for technology and digital job roles reaching an all-time high, projections over the next decade indicate demand for tech workers will grow at twice the rate of the overall labor force. There is a critical economic need to break the cycle of persistent talent shortages, and an equally critical need to expand opportunity and diversify the tech workforce.

TestOut courses are an ideal solution for educators charged with teaching technology skills to the next generation of IT workers, as well as providing an ideal foundation for integrating CompTIA certifications into tech education curricula.

FAQs

Who is TestOut?

TestOut Corporation is a market leader in comprehensive delivery solutions for training, courseware, online labs, performance-based exams and more.

What is the relationship between CompTIA and TestOut?

CompTIA acquired TestOut in early 2023, bringing together two mission-driven organizations to extend their best-in-class learning solutions, industry-recognized certifications and career accelerators to students, professionals and academic institutions.

Why did CompTIA acquire TestOut?

TestOut plays a critical role in the tech education ecosystem, delivering high-quality, engaging curriculum built on its LabSim platform that encourages and nurtures innovative experiential learning. The company has a preeminent position in the academic market. The combination of the two entities brings a great deal to each with little overlap and will help CompTIA achieve its goal of unlocking potential for millions of additional students, instructors and partners by creating a greater depth and breadth of product offerings.

How does TestOut complement CompTIA’s existing product line?

TestOut brings a robust selection of new courses and learning tools to add to CompTIA’s training and certification pathways. In addition to hands on courses for CompTIA’s ITF+, A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, and CySA+, new TestOut additions include courses in:

- Digital Literacy
- Cisco Networking Administration
- Microsoft Office
- Microsoft Windows Administration
- Microsoft Azure

What is unique about TestOut learning products?

TestOut offers students engaging online training content – visual, audio, and hands-on learning experiences, which ignite their interest and improve their knowledge retention. Students have access to more than £75,000 of simulated IT lab equipment – computer hardware, software and systems – that can be launched instantly from an Internet browser, are graded in real-time and provide instant feedback so students can remediate and learn faster. These powerful simulations also save schools money and teachers thousands of hours as they assess students and prepare them for certification exams and the workforce.

Which age groups and academic levels are these materials designed for?

TestOut learning products are available for learners of all ages, from middle school through high school, college and university — and on into the workforce.

Which areas of technology are covered?

TestOut training content begins with digital literacy, Microsoft Office, and the fundamentals of technology to help students acquire the essential knowledge and skills for using technology practically and safely. TestOut also offers resources that help students learn how to use the technologies and applications that are present in virtually every business and industry. Not every student will pursue technology as a career, but they all need to understand the fundamentals of tech and how to use it in business settings to succeed in any profession. For students interested in working in tech, TestOut has a broad section of offerings on IT systems, networking, cybersecurity, cloud computing and more.

What is the significance of providing TestOut products to the international market?

TestOut products are a natural extension of CompTIA’s work to expand and diversify the technology workforce around the world. Our research consistently shows a widening gap between the number of people interested in working in technology, and the number of employer job openings for technology workers.

- In the UK alone last year, employers across all industry sectors listed more than 1.3 million job postings for tech occupations in a range of disciplines, including software development, cybersecurity, IT support, network engineering and IT project management.

- Employer job postings for technology positions in 10 European countries totaled nearly 1.7 million in Q3 2022, the most recent available data. Among all postings, 54% sought candidates with 0 to 2 years of work experience. Employers specified 3 to 10 years of experience for 16% of job postings and 11 or more years for 7% of openings.

There are employment opportunities for new entrants to the workforce, career changers and others with the skills to work in tech who simply need encouragement and opportunity.

Why is there such a shortfall of technology workers and candidates?

For many individuals, it’s due to a lack of confidence that they’ll be able to work in tech. Others don’t have a clear understanding of the many career options that there are, or that tech workers virtually every business and industry. Connecting students to more engaging and fun learning resources and curricula, such as that offered by TestOut and CompTIA, can have an immediate and powerful impact in shaping career decisions.
