CA Accreditations

Based on feedback, CA has evolved its programs for validating knowledge and expertise beginning April 2008. Intuitive, easy to understand, and designed with your success in mind, our program is available on-line, in the classroom and anywhere you are in the world.

CA offers a comprehensive program of skills accreditation. Focusing on task-based, role-based competency, the CA program offers tiered levels of skills progression — Associate, Professional, and Expert. Spreading across the breadth of our technology portfolio and assisting in making EITM real for our customers, CA's Accreditation Program measures and validates skills and expertise in implementing, integrating, administering and using our technology.

What is CA Accreditation?

Accreditation is recognition and validation which distinguishes individuals who have demonstrated superior levels of business, sales, and technical expertise that address customer Enterprise solution needs in areas of operation, administration, design, implementation, and troubleshooting.

CA Accreditation involves successfully completing a timed exam in an open-book environment at a CA learning center, in your living room or in your office. CA Accreditation testing allows you to use your real-world problem-solving experiences to solve real-world IT problems.

Our updated and improved exams provide validation of specific and specialised skill sets across our EITM portfolio. By successfully completing our program, you will join a select group of CA Accredited professionals who have achieved the same mark of distinction in the technology industry.

All of our exams have the following attributes:

  • Accessible online (LMS for employees; single external server for customers and partners)
  • On-demand (Taken when and where you need them; classroom or remote)
  • Available at no charge

If you have previously or recently achieved CA Certified status , rest assured, all certification credit remains valid and continues to count towards any compliance benefits.



How is CA's program unique?

CA Accreditation confirms an individual's competence in a business solution and technical setting. Rather than emphasise technical product knowledge alone, CA Accreditation goes beyond by focusing on business application solutions within the enterprise. By briefly allowing you to research your course material and apply your knowledge and skills within the given strict time-constraint, it is reflective of the real world. It objectively validates the competencies needed for operation, administration, installation, implementation or troubleshooting of CA products for complete and optimised IT solutions.


What does this mean for you and why do you need it?

CA skills are highly sought after—consultant billable rates, even at the non-specialty level, are at the higher end of the industry average.

CA Accreditation represents an opportunity for you. CA Accreditation is a predictor of success and will mark the next stage of your career development as well as potential for advancement. In our competitive space, customer requests for proposals (RFPs) increasingly require proof of proficiency in application and solution areas as part of their selection criteria. What better way to prove your expertise than with objective and clearly recognisable CA Accreditations?


CA Partner Program compliance and customer benefits

CA Accreditation and Certification credits will continue to count towards compliance and benefit programs. CA Partner program benefits, such as certain rebates and rewards, are dependant on specific targets being met, and on successful coursework and exam completions. Such programs differ by world regions. Details and contacts can be found on the CA Partner Program page.


Why now?

The bar was raised with CA's commitment to deliver Enterprise IT Management (EITM) to help unify, and simplify the entire IT management environment. The rollout of the CA Accreditation program coincides with our new business approach for managing technology and taking products to market.
