About CompTIA Career Pathways
95-96
Official CompTIA Labs
In general, the pathways follow a hierarchy of skills needed for a career in IT security or infrastructure; each certification builds upon the skills from the previous one. CompTIA certifications mirror the current job roles of IT professionals, so it makes sense to earn these certifications to gain the knowledge and hands-on skills currently being used in the workforce, whether you have job experience or not. IT professionals and employers alike understand that while IT certifications are a great place to start, they are not a replacement for experience. By combining CompTIA certifications with on-the-job experience, you get the best of both worlds.
