There are a total of 4 specialist training sectors in the A+ syllabus, of which 2 passes are needed for competency in A+. Be aware though that only learning about 2 out of the 4 subjects available is likely to leave your knowledge base somewhat light. Choose a course with all 4 subjects - employers will notice the difference.
CompTIA A+ without additional courses will allow you to fix and maintain stand alone Macs, computers and laptops; ones that are generally not connected to a network - essentially the domestic or small business sector.
Were you to add Network+ training to your A+, you'll also have the ability to take care of networks, allowing you to apply for more senior positions.
Being a part of the leading edge of new technology gives you the best job satisfaction ever. Your actions are instrumental in defining the world to come.
Technological changes and connections on the internet is going to noticeably affect our lives over the coming years; profoundly so.
Should lifestyle be around the top on your scale of wants, you will welcome the news that the usual remuneration for IT employees in general is considerably more than with other market sectors.
There is a great nationwide need for certified IT specialists. Also, as growth in the industry shows little sign of contracting, it seems this pattern will continue for years to come.
An area that's often missed by trainees mulling over a new direction is that of 'training segmentation'. This is essentially the breakdown of the materials for delivery to you, which vastly changes how you end up.
Often, you'll enrol on a course taking 1-3 years and get sent one module each time you pass an exam. This may seem sensible until you think about these factors:
With thought, many trainees understand that their providers standard order of study isn't as suitable as another. Sometimes, a slightly different order suits them better. And what if you don't get to the end at the pace they expect?
Put simply, the best option is to obtain their recommendation on the best possible order of study, but get all the study materials at the start. You're then in possession of everything in case you don't finish within their ideal time-table.
Authorised exam simulation and preparation software is a must - and really must be supplied by your training company.
As most IT examination boards are American, it's essential to understand how exam questions will be phrased and formatted. It's not sufficient just understanding random questions - they need to be in the proper exam format.
Why don't you test your depth of understanding by doing quizzes and practice exams prior to taking the actual exam.
Review the following facts in detail if you're inclined to think that over-used sales technique about examination guarantees seems like a good idea:
Thankfully, today we're a bit more aware of hype - and most of us realise that of course it is actually an additional cost to us - they're not just being charitable and doling out freebies!
It's well known in the industry that when students fund each progressive exam, one by one, they will be much more likely to get through on the first attempt - as they'll think of their payment and their application will be greater.
Isn't it outrageous to have to pay a college in advance for examinations? Find the best exam deal or offer at the time, don't pay mark-ups - and sit exams more locally - rather than in some remote place.
Paying upfront for examinations (plus interest - if you're financing your study) is madness. Resist being talked into filling the training company's account with extra money of yours simply to help their cash-flow! Some will be pinning their hopes on the fact that you won't get to do them all - but they won't refund the cash.
Also, 'Exam Guarantees' often aren't worth the paper they're written on. Many training companies will not pay again for an exam until you have demonstrated conclusively that you won't fail again.
Prometric and VUE exams are approximately 112 pounds in the United Kingdom today. Students should be very wary of forking out hundreds of pounds extra in 'Exam Guarantee' costs (often hidden in the cost) - when the best course materials, the right level of support and exam preparation systems and a dose of commitment and effort are what's required.
