Bridging Academia & Industry: CompTIA Certification Integration

Recently, The UNIMY team had an insightful session with Mr. Hairil Izwan Isamuddin, Regional Director (SEA) at CompTIA, to discuss how industry-recognised IT certifications can be seamlessly integrated into UNIMY’s academic framework.

The discussion opened exciting possibilities for all students to strengthen their professional edge and graduate with both academic qualifications and globally recognised certifications. Among the key opportunities explored were:

CompTIA’s Core Tracks – Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, and Data, forming the foundation for every modern tech career.

Stackable Certifications – Creating structured pathways that help students progressively build and demonstrate their technical expertise.

Quick Upskilling via Essentials – Covering emerging skills in AI, Cloud Computing, and Soft Skills to ensure well-rounded professional growth.

Hands-On Learning via CertMaster – Combining digital learning platforms with real-world simulations and global exam access, making sure students are ready for industry demands from day one.

The reality is that it’s yet another bold step toward future-proofing UNIMY graduates. By aligning our programmes with CompTIA’s global certification standards, we’re anchoring the possibility that every student leaves UNIMY not just with a degree, but with credentials that employers around the world both value and trust.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to sharing more as this partnership continues to take shape. The future of tech education is here and UNIMY is leading the way!
