CompTIA launches survey to identify RFID skills standards

Efforts by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) to develop a new professional certification of radio frequency identification (RFID) skills advanced to the next phase this week with the launch of a survey that aims to identify the knowledge, skills and abilities individuals should have to be proficient in the technology.

The CompTIA RFID+ Blueprint Survey builds on the work earlier this month of a committee of RFID subject matter experts who are helping CompTIA develop the content of the certification exam.

"Our subject matter experts have gotten us off to an excellent start by identifying the strong quality content that a certification will require,” said David Sommer, vice president, electronic commerce, CompTIA.

"The survey is the next vital next step in the certification development process. It will allow even more professionals with RFID expertise to help us identify and validate the knowledge and skills standards individuals should have to be proficient in RFID technology."

To participate in the RFID skills survey, individuals must have experience in RFID technology, such as installing and implementing RFID systems. The survey is available at: http://repeto.com/RFID

CompTIA is also inviting other RFID subject matter experts to participate in the certification exam item writing and review process scheduled for August 17-21. More information on the requirements for RFID subject matter experts is available at CompTIA's website.

The CompTIA RFID+ certification is expected to be available in late 2005 or early 2006.
