CompTIA Certified

CompTIA Project+

Master the essentials of IT project management. Plan, execute, and deliver projects on time and within scope using Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies. Exam code: PK0-005.

Overview

CompTIA Project+ is the only industry certification designed to teach IT professionals the entry‑level skills they need to successfully manage small to medium‑sized projects. It showcases professionals' capabilities in planning, executing, and delivering projects on time and within scope while ensuring effective communication and resource management.

Project+ is more versatile than other certifications because it covers essential project management concepts beyond the scope of just one methodology or framework. It gives IT pros the basic concepts to manage small‑ to medium‑sized projects successfully, with a strong emphasis on the skills needed to manage smaller, less complex projects while supporting the completion of larger projects within an IT environment.

Important Update: Effective October 1, 2025, CompTIA Project+ transitioned from a "Good for Life" certification to a Continuing Education (CE) certification. This means certification holders must renew their credential every 3 years through CompTIA's CE program.
