CompTIA A+ consists of 4 training sections; you're considered A+ competent when you've passed the test for half of them. This is the reason that the majority of training establishments only have two of the courses on their syllabus. In reality you're advised to have the information on each subject as industry will demand an understanding of the whole A+ program. You don't have to take all four exams, but we would recommend you study for all four areas.
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.
Perhaps you see yourself as a man or woman who works for a larger company - in network support, you should include CompTIA Network+ to your training package, or alternatively look at doing an MCSA or MCSE with Microsoft because it's necessary to have a wider knowledge of the way networks work.
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.
Memory is vastly improved with an involvement of all our senses - learning experts have been saying this for years now.
You can now study via interactive discs. Through instructor-led video classes you'll learn your subject through the demonstrations and explanations. Then you test your knowledge by interacting with the software and practicing yourself.
You really need to look at courseware examples from any company that you may want to train through. It's essential they incorporate video demo's and interactive elements such as practice lab's.
You should avoid purely online training. You want physical CD/DVD ROM course materials where possible, as you need to be able to use them whenever it's convenient for you - ISP quality varies, so you don't want to be totally reliant on your internet connection always being 'up' and available.
You should look for authorised exam simulation and preparation programs as part of your course package.
Sometimes people can get confused by practising exam questions that don't come from the authorised examining boards. It's not uncommon that the question formats and phraseology is startlingly different and you should be prepared for this.
Ensure that you verify your knowledge through tests and simulated exams prior to taking the real thing.
Most people don't even think to ask about a vitally important element - how their training provider actually breaks down and delivers the courseware, and into how many bits.
Drop-shipping your training elements one piece at a time, according to your own speed is the usual method of releasing your program. While sounding logical, you might like to consider this:
Maybe the order of study offered by the provider doesn't suit. You may find it a stretch to finalise each and every section within the time limits imposed?
The ideal circumstances are to get all your study materials delivered to you right at the start; the complete package! This way, nothing can happen down the line which could affect your ability to finish.
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.
Actually, retraining in Information Technology throughout the next year or two is very likely the best choice of careers you could make. - 33376
