OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., October 31, 2005
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA®) has approved OTA Training, LLC., a recognized leader in the development and delivery of RFID training, as the first company to be officially recognized as having CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum for the soon to be released CompTIA RFID+™ certification exam.
“The CompTIA RFID+ certification promises to be one of the most sought after certifications in our portfolio”, said John Venator, president and chief executive officer of CompTIA. “We are very pleased that OTA has not only decided to be a valuable contributor to the CompTIA RFID+ Cornerstone Committee, but has taken the additional steps of having their curriculum CAQC approved.”
“We are very proud to be the first to market with a CompTIA Authorized curriculum”, said Robert Sabella, President and Founder of OTA Training, LLC. “OTA was among the first CompTIA RFID+ Cornerstone Committee members and we are proud of our entire team who has worked so hard to bring these much needed and now officially recognized learning tools to market.”
The CAQC Program identifies training materials, including books, self-study guides, classroom training programs, computer-based training and other written and instructor-led programs that have been reviewed and found to map closely to the objectives of the CompTIA certification examination.
Exam candidates will be able to identify authorized materials by the presence of the CAQC logo. For exam candidates, the program takes the guesswork out of the decision process. Faced with various training options, they will know immediately which materials are most likely to help them prepare for a successful exam.
OTA currently offers CAQC material in a 2, 3 or 4 day classroom format which culminates with the candidates taking the CompTIA RFID+ Certification exam on-site. In January 2006, this material will be available in an easy to use self-study guide book format, called CompTIA RFID+ Exam Cram™ as well as in an E-learning web based training (WBT) format.
1. The beta exam for CompTIA RFID+ certification is available October 31, 2005.
