At the biennial CompTIA 2025 Awards held on the 9th of October 2025, Boston City Campus has been awarded the prestigious Platinum Partner Award, and once again, the ultimate honour of being named the Partner of the Year - Delivery award for 2025.
This is the highest level of partnership awarded by CompTIA, an international authority that sets the global standard for IT education and certification. It also adds to our previous Partner of the Year award we received in 2023.
Boston City Campus has always believed that world-class education should not depend on your postcode, your schedule, or whether you can walk into a physical classroom every day. Now that belief has been recognised globally.
In simple terms, this means Boston officially trains students at the same level as the best technology educators anywhere in the world. It’s confirmation that Boston’s courses, teaching quality, and delivery model align with what the world’s top training organisations expect from professional IT education.
Why CompTIA Certification Matters
CompTIA, which stands for the Computing Technology Industry Association, is like the international referee of IT education. It defines what excellence looks like in the world of technology training.
When someone earns a CompTIA certification such as A+, Network+, or Security+, employers instantly recognise that person as having the practical, real-world skills to build, manage, and protect computer systems.
Being a Platinum Partner places Boston in an elite global group of institutions that meet these standards. Boston’s own accredited qualifications, approved by South Africa’s education authorities, are built to those same expectations.
So, what does this mean in everyday terms? It means that if the world of IT education were a global sporting league, Boston would be one of the top teams. The difference is that Boston’s "players" - its students - can compete at that level without ever leaving home.
For students and parents alike, this partnership means the following:
- Their qualification obtained with Boston, is at an international standard.
- Boston’s coursework and practical training are globally benchmarked.
- When it comes to our alumni, it strengthens what they already have.
- When employers see Boston City Campus listed on a CV, they’re seeing an institution validated by CompTIA, the global standard setter for IT education.
That credibility lasts well beyond graduation.
Studying CompTIA Certification with Boston
Boston’s model of learning makes this recognition even more powerful. The flexibility to study online, at your own pace, with support whenever you need it, has always been one of Boston’s strongest points. Combine that accessibility with international standards and you have something unique: education that’s both world-class and within reach.
Students can study anywhere, on any device, and still be learning to the same standard as someone sitting in a classroom in London or New York.
This matters because technology drives everything. From banking to healthcare, logistics to entertainment, every industry depends on people who understand how digital systems work. Employers aren’t just looking for graduates with degrees; they’re looking for people who can apply knowledge from day one. CompTIA’s recognition tells those employers that Boston graduates are job-ready, globally relevant, and trained with the exact skills businesses need.
A Local Partnership with International Benefits
For South Africa, this partnership means something even larger. It shows that local education can compete internationally. It proves that a South African institution can operate at the same level as the world’s best technology academies, giving students here the chance to join the global digital economy without leaving the country. Every Boston student who earns an IT qualification contributes to closing the digital skills gap and strengthening the nation’s place in the technology sector.
It’s not just a partnership or an award; it’s a statement. Boston’s IT students are learning to the same standards as the rest of the world, while still enjoying the flexibility, personal attention, and accessibility that define Boston.
If you picture it in rugby terms, you’re not just learning to play. You’re already wearing the jersey, taking the field, and competing at world-cup level. You’ve already lifted two Rugby World Cups in a row, proving your strength, resilience, and class to the world. Now you’re not settling for defending the title; you’re reinventing your game, pushing harder, innovating smarter, and playing to be even better than the best.
That’s what Boston is, a team that never stops improving, never stops believing, and always plays to win. And that’s what it means to be a CompTIA Platinum Partner. That’s what it means to study with Boston.
