There are four specialist areas of training in a full CompTIA A+ program; you’re seen as an A+ achiever when you’ve passed the test for half of them. This is the reason that it’s usual for colleges to limit themselves to 2 study areas. The truth is it’s necessary to have the information on each subject as industry will demand knowledge and skills of the whole A+ program. It’s not essential to complete all 4 certifications, but we would recommend you take tutorials in all 4 subjects.
If you decide to become a student on the A+ training program you’ll become familiar with how to build and repair PC’s and operate in antistatic conditions. You’ll also cover fault-finding and diagnostic techniques, both remotely and via direct access.
If you would like to be the kind of individual who works in a multi-faceted environment – supporting, fixing and maintaining networks, you’ll need to add CompTIA Network+, or consider an MCSA or MCSE with Microsoft in order to have a deeper understanding of the way networks work.
Full support is of the utmost importance – look for a package that includes 24×7 access, as anything less will frustrate you and could hamper your progress.
some companies only provide email support (slow), and so-called telephone support is normally just routed to a call-centre that will make some notes and then email an advisor – who’ll call back sometime over the next 1-3 days, when it suits them. This is all next to useless if you’re lost and confused and can only study at specific times.
Keep your eyes open for study programmes that incorporate three or four individual support centres active in different time-zones. All of them should be combined to offer a simple interface as well as access round-the-clock, when you need it, with the minimum of hassle.
Always choose a training school that goes the extra mile. Only true live 24×7 round-the-clock support truly delivers for technical programs.
So, why might we choose commercial certification and not familiar academic qualifications taught at tech’ colleges and universities?
Industry now recognises that to learn the appropriate commercial skills, the right accreditation from such organisations as Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA most often has much more specialised relevance – saving time and money.
Many degrees, for example, clog up the training with vast amounts of loosely associated study – with much too broad a syllabus. Students are then held back from getting enough specific knowledge about the core essentials.
When it comes down to the nitty-gritty: Recognised IT certifications let employers know exactly what you’re capable of – it says what you do in the title: as an example – I am a ‘Microsoft Certified Professional’ in ‘Designing Security for a Windows 2003 Network’. Therefore an employer can identify exactly what they need and what certifications are required to fulfil that.
Watch out that all qualifications you’re considering doing will be commercially viable and are up-to-date. The ‘in-house’ certifications provided by many companies are often meaningless.
Unless the accreditation comes from a company like Microsoft, Adobe, CompTIA or Cisco, then chances are it won’t be commercially viable – as no-one will have heard of it.
It’s essential to have accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system as part of your training package.
Be sure that the practice exams are not only asking questions in the right areas, but additionally ask them in the way the real exams will pose them. It throws students if they’re faced with unrecognisable phrases and formats.
A way to build self-confidence is if you test your depth of understanding by doing quizzes and practice exams prior to taking the proper exam.
