CompTIA A+ computer training comprises of 2 specialised sectors - you'll need exam certification in both of these areas to be competent in A+.
Once you start your CompTIA A+, you will learn 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.
Were you to add Network+ training to your A+, you'll also have the ability to look after networks, giving you the facility to command a higher salary.
The way a programme is physically sent to you isn't always given the appropriate level of importance. How many parts is the training broken down into? What is the specific order and what control do you have at what pace it arrives?
You may think it logical (when study may take one to three years to pass all the required exams,) that a training provider will issue one section at a time, until you've passed all the exams. But:
Sometimes the steps or stages insisted on by the company won't suit you. It may be difficult to get through all the modules within the time limits imposed?
In all honesty, the perfect answer is to get an idea of what they recommend as an ideal study order, but to receive all the materials up-front. You then have everything should you not complete it at their required pace.
Including examinations up-front and presenting it as a guarantee for your exams is a popular marketing tool with a good many training companies. Consider the facts:
Everyone knows they're still being charged for it - obviously it has already been included in the overall figure from the training provider. It's definitely not free - don't think these companies are so generous with their money!
Evidence shows that when students fund each progressive exam, one by one, the chances are they're going to pass every time - because they are conscious of the cost and therefore will put more effort into their preparation.
Go for the best offer you can find when you're ready, and keep hold of your own money. In addition, it's then your choice where to do your exams - which means you can stay local.
A lot of extra profit is made by many companies who get money for exam fees in advance. A number of students don't take them for various reasons but the company keeps the money. Astoundingly enough, there are companies around who actually rely on students not sitting all the exams - as that's how they make a lot of their profit.
Remember, with most 'Exam Guarantees' - you are not in control of when you are allowed to do a re-take. Subsequent exam attempts are only authorised at the company's say so.
Exams taken at VUE and Prometric centres are currently clocking in at an average of 112 pounds in the United Kingdom today. Why spend so much more on 'Exam Guarantee' costs (often covertly rolled into the cost of the course) - when the best course materials, the right level of support and consistent and systematic learning, coupled with quality exam simulation software is what will really see you through.
A study programme should always lead to a fully recognised major qualification as an end-goal - not some little 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting.
The top IT companies like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco or CompTIA all have internationally recognised proficiency courses. These big-hitters will make your CV stand-out.
Now, why should we consider commercially accredited qualifications and not more traditional academic qualifications taught at tech' colleges and universities?
The IT sector now recognises that for an understanding of the relevant skills, proper accreditation from companies such as CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA is closer to the mark commercially - at a far reduced cost both money and time wise.
Higher education courses, for instance, often get bogged down in too much loosely associated study - and much too wide a syllabus. Students are then prevented from understanding the specific essentials in enough depth.
Imagine if you were an employer - and you required somebody who had very specific skills. Which is the most straightforward: Trawl through a mass of different academic qualifications from various applicants, having to ask what each has covered and what commercial skills have been attained, or pick out specific commercial accreditations that exactly fulfil your criteria, and then choose your interviewees based around that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than on the depth of their technical knowledge.
