The only reason to get a CompTIA cert is for OEM requirements; I had to be A+ certified in order to do stuff for HP, even though it had nothing to do with my work.

I basically want to know if they are as worldwide recognised as they say they are, and will a Security+ qualification look good to a potential employer. Or will they never had heard of it?

Go with CISSP, CISA, etc. Avoid CompTIA.
