The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) has launched an online service that tracks and stores the IT certification records of the association`s certification candidates.
The CareerID service provides electronic transcripts to prospective employers or educational bodies to validate IT certification credentials.
"This new tool will prove invaluable to prospective employees who have had to deal with potential job candidates misrepresenting their educational backgrounds," says Loraine Vorster, regional director of CompTIA SA. "The fraudulent use of trademarks and logos by fly-by-night operators claiming to be accredited by CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, Novell and ISETT SETA, is of great concern."
Vorster says the CareerID certification verification service provides a secure way of verifying a CompTIA candidate`s certification status. "This service provides a cost-effective and streamlined method for what has historically been a time-consuming and expensive process."
CareerID also provides certain services to CompTIA certification candidates. "CareerID enables certified individuals to send e-mail proof of certifications, view certification history and update personal records."
