CompTIA A + has a total of four exams and sections to study, but you're just expected to pass two of them to be thought of as qualified. For this reason, the majority of training providers simply offer two. Yet learning about all 4 will equip you with a far deeper level of understanding of the subject, something you'll appreciate as an important asset in the working environment.
Training courses in A+ teach diagnostic techniques and fault-finding - via hands on and remote access, in addition to building, fixing, repairing and having knowledge of antistatic conditions.
You may also want to consider adding the CompTIA Network+ training as it will give you the knowledge to become a networking engineer, which means greater employment benefits.
Those that are drawn to this type of work are often very practical, and don't always take well to classrooms, and endless reading of dry academic textbooks. If this is putting you off studying, try the newer style of interactive study, where learning is video-based.
If we're able to get all of our senses involved in our learning, then the results are usually dramatically better.
The latest audio-visual interactive programs involving demonstration and virtual lab's will beat books every time. And they're far more fun.
You'll definitely want a study material demo' from the training company. The materials should incorporate expert-led demonstrations, slideshows and fully interactive skills-lab's.
You'll find that many companies will only provide purely on-line training; sometimes you can get away with this - but, think what will happen when you don't have access to the internet or you get slow speeds and down-time etc. It's much safer to rely on DVD or CD discs that removes the issue entirely.
Don't accept anything less than the current Microsoft (or relevant organisation's) accredited exam simulation and preparation packages.
As the majority of examining boards for IT tend to be American, you'll need to be used to the correct phraseology. It isn't good enough just understanding random questions - they must be in an exam format that exactly replicates the real thing.
Mock exams can be very useful in helping you build your confidence - so when it comes to taking the proper exam, you won't be worried.
The way in which your courseware is broken down for you is often missed by many students. How many stages do they break the program into? What is the order and at what speed is it delivered?
Often, you will join a program requiring 1-3 years study and get sent one module each time you pass an exam. It seems to make sense on one level, but consider these issues:
What if you don't finish each and every exam? And what if you find the order of the modules counter-intuitive? Without any fault on your part, you may go a little slower and consequently not get all your materials.
Ideally, you'd get ALL the training materials right at the beginning - giving you them all for the future to come back to - at any time you choose. This also allows you to vary the order in which you move through the program if you find another route more intuitive.
We'd all like to believe that our jobs will remain safe and our future is protected, but the growing likelihood for most jobs in the United Kingdom currently appears to be that security may be a thing of the past.
Whereas a marketplace with high growth, with a constant demand for staff (as there is a massive shortfall of commercially certified workers), opens the possibility of true job security.
A recent national e-Skills survey showed that over 26 percent of all available IT positions cannot be filled due to a chronic shortage of appropriately certified professionals. Basically, we can't properly place more than 3 out of each four job positions in IT.
This disturbing truth reveals the requirement for more properly qualified IT professionals throughout the UK.
It's unlikely if a better time or market circumstances is ever likely to exist for gaining qualification for this hugely expanding and developing sector.
