Origin and Creation
ChristoCord is a tech support Discord Server established on April 26th, 2017. Its original purpose was to be a Discord Server for the community of King Christo Tech (originally starting as "King Christo Tech Discord") to begin community formation and to serve as a small tech support hub. The server began by advertisement through the YouTube channel and in other public Discord Servers via self-promotion channels. The server has been renamed twice. The first of which was to ChristoCord, which was originally suggested by a user in the server's general chat channel and then accepted by Christo. Later in the server's development, it was renamed to "ChristoCord | Custom PC Building" to take the focus off of the King Christo Tech YouTube channel and more on the community within the Discord server in general.

Modern Summary
ChristoCord is an international, multi-thousand member Discord Server that aims to provide free, 24/7, quality tech support. ChristoCord has three main categories for tech support: pc building, hardware, and software. In addition to the tech-based channels within the server, many general channels exist such as a general chat channel and a channel for help with schoolwork. ChristoCord is currently ran by "King Christo Tech", often abbreviated to "Christo". The second in command of the server is a user that goes by the alias of "Dubs The Duke", also often shortened to "Dubs". The server also runs its own form of technology based certification, known as the Techie+ or Tech Expert certification exam. This is a standardized assessment for users to show their knowledge and become trusted helpers within the community.

Techie+ Certification Exam
Originally dubbed the "Tech Expert Exam", or TE Exam for short, the exam was renamed to "Techie+ Certification" later on due to user recommendations. Regardless, the Techie+ Certification is a way for a member within ChristoCord to prove that they are a reliable source of information. That is - it is a distinction for members who have shown vast yet in-depth knowledge on various tech-based subjects. The Techie+ Certification has a number of key factors to consider while taking the exam. Most importantly is the fact that the exam is open-book and open-internet. In fact, using google search during the exam is recommended, as it mimics a realistic scenario where a Techie+ would be helping another member in a tech-support channel. However, the time restriction on the exam still creates substantially difficulty, thus separating those who are truly experienced from those who are not. In order to take the exam, a user must request an access code and have the test unlocked by a ChristoCord executive. More information about the Techie+ Certification can be found below.
