CompTIA career ladder

Where Project+ sits in your team's CompTIA progression

The cert your team is on now, plus the levels above and below. Use this to map an engineer's next-step credential or to plan headcount coverage across tiers.

Customer outcome

Build PK0-005 capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Project+ course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished, and who has passed the practice exam — the view leadership uses to see CompTIA skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make PK0-005 a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on PK0-005 gives leadership a clear picture of CompTIA skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about Project+ training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Project+ training for their team.

How does Project+ fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

IT leaders often cite Project+ when documenting that the people running IT projects have validated skills in scope control, risk and issue management, and the security, privacy, and compliance considerations of project work. Team reporting provides per-learner progress, completion, and completion exports that can support audit evidence, while your auditor's control crosswalk decides how the credential maps to any formal framework.

Who on the team should hold Project+, and what can a certified team own?

Project+ suits project coordinators, team leads, and engineers who regularly run infrastructure rollouts, migrations, or upgrades alongside their technical work. The linked course covers comparing project management approaches, discovery and initiation, scope and change management, scheduling, risk and issue tracking, team and resource management, communication and meetings, execution, and closing. A certified team can own IT project delivery from concept through closeout with consistent documentation and tools.

What does CBT Nuggets Project+ training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets Project+ courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to CompTIA's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track Project+ training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the Project+ courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on Project+?

The linked CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) course contains about 12 hours of video. Overall time to certify depends on each team member's starting point, including prior experience coordinating projects and familiarity with project tools and documentation.

What if CompTIA updates the Project+ exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates CompTIA course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When CompTIA restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
