Geek Easy Computers Earns CompTIA A+ Authorized Service Center Status from Computing Technology Industry Association

Kalamazoo, Michigan, May 19th 2011 – Geek Easy Computers has been recognized by the leading trade association for the world’s information technology (IT) industry for their commitment to quality service and professionalism.

 

The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) has designated Geek Easy Computers as a CompTIA A+ Authorized Service Center™. CompTIA A+ is part of the certification track for corporations such as Microsoft, HP and Cisco. Other technology companies, including Dell, Intel, Lenovo and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification mandatory for their service technicians. The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes CompTIA A+ and the Department of Homeland Security requires it as part of their computer forensics program.

 

“Designation as a CompTIA A+ Authorized Service Center is validation that a computer service center has achieved the technology industry’s highest recognized level of competence,” said Richard Rysiewicz, Senior Dir., Services, at CompTIA. “It is a strong sign that the professionals of Geek Easy Computers take pride in their work and are committed to advancing the quality of their operations and service.”

 

The CompTIA Authorized Service Center™ program recognizes computer, network, server printer and document imaging support businesses that employ certified technicians. These certifications are recognized around the world and throughout the IT industry as the foundation-level skills standards for technology professionals.

 

Geek Easy Computers is currently the only CompTIA Authorized Service Center™ in Southwest Michigan. Their technical staff is 100 percent A+ certified. The company is committed to providing quality of service along with a career-length dedication to technology education. Employees of Geek Easy Computers are encouraged to pursue at least one new industry certification every year.

 

To achieve status as a CompTIA A+ Authorized Service Center, at least 50 percent of the service center’s technical staff must be CompTIA A+ certified. CompTIA A+ certification is the IT industry’s recognized skills benchmark for entry into a technology career. Earning CompTIA A+ certification demonstrates a technician has a broad base of knowledge and competency in core hardware and operating system technologies, including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance, and networking.
