At Toro, we believe that investing in our people is investing in our future. That's why we are proud to announce that we have officially become members of CompTIA, the world’s leading technology industry association, dedicated to advancing the global tech industry.
This step is more than just a new partnership; it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to developing our team, staying ahead of industry trends, and creating a culture of continuous learning and growth.
What CompTIA stands for and why it matters
CompTIA, which stands for Computing Technology Industry Association, is a non-profit trade association that offers vendor agnostic professional IT certifications, training, and education. Known for setting industry standards and promoting best practices, CompTIA is a vendor-neutral organisation that plays a pivotal role in supporting the IT workforce.
With its comprehensive range of certifications and resources, CompTIA helps individuals and companies stay competitive in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. In particular, CompTIA’s emphasis on certifications like Security+, Network+, and Cloud+ helps professionals across industries to sharpen their skills, demonstrate expertise, and remain prepared for emerging challenges, especially in cybersecurity. A transformation programme is underway, and some certifications are currently being refreshed and renamed. Our Cyber Assurance Manager Ray Burke has been checking out their latest offerings and is a member of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) CompTIA Instructors Network.
As the tech landscape evolves rapidly, CompTIA plays a key role in keeping individuals and companies equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in this dynamic field.
Their emphasis on certification, education, and professional development aligns with our goals at Toro—to build a team of forward-thinking, highly skilled professionals.
Passionate about our people
At the core of our decision to join CompTIA is our commitment to people development.
We’re dedicated to creating an environment where our team members can learn, grow, and excel in their careers. By providing access to CompTIA’s resources, including certifications and training programmes, we want to support the team in advancing their skills and helping them stay ahead of industry developments.
We understand that the growth of our company is intrinsically linked to the growth of our people. Through our CompTIA membership, we aim to provide our team with the tools and information they need to stay competitive, adapt to emerging technologies, and continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cybersecurity and technology.
Creating a culture of continuous professional development

Whether it’s preparing for CompTIA’s widely recognised certifications or attending a networking event, we want to create a space where learning is constant and professional development is encouraged.
In addition to our partnership with CompTIA, we also run weekly internal training sessions to keep our team sharp and informed of the latest developments, emerging technologies, and tactics threats and procedures (TTPs) . These sessions, led by both internal experts and guest speakers, provide valuable opportunities for knowledge sharing, skills development, and collaboration. Together, these initiatives ensure our people are always growing, staying ahead of industry trends, and enhancing their expertise to deliver solutions for our clients.

This ensures that our solutions are not only relevant but also at the cutting edge of technological innovation in the digital era we find ourselves living in.
Encouraging a growth mindset
At Toro, we believe in the power of a growth mindset—the idea that with the right effort, strategies, and support, we can all improve and grow. Our partnership with CompTIA reinforces this philosophy. It encourages our team to take ownership of their career development, embrace new challenges, and build on their skills, certifications, and expertise.
Moving forward together
