CompTIA certification roadmap

This is CompTIA's published credential ladder, grouped by track and ordered from foundational to advanced. Use it for planning: the progression below is typical, not mandatory, and you can enter at the tier that fits your background.

A credential is a signal of skill, not a hiring guarantee. Pick a track based on your target role rather than collecting every tier — start the RoleMath planner to see which roles fit you and which credentials map to them.
