CompTIA Computer Training Clarified
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.
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.
We can guess that you probably enjoy fairly practical work - a 'hands-on' type. If you're like us, the world of book-reading and classrooms is something you'll force on yourself if you absolutely have to, but you really wouldn't enjoy it. Consider interactive, multimedia study if book-based learning really isn't your style.
Years of research and study has always verified that connecting physically with our study, is proven to produce longer-lasting and deeper memory retention.
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 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.
Validated exam preparation and simulation materials are vital - and really must be obtained from your course provider.
Make sure that the simulated exams aren't just asking you the right questions on the right subjects, but additionally ask them in the way the real exams will ask them. This throws people if the questions are phrased in unfamiliar formats.
Ensure that you verify your knowledge through tests and simulated exams prior to taking the real thing.
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?
Many companies enrol you into some sort of program spread over 1-3 years, and send out each piece as you complete each exam. This sounds reasonable until you consider the following:
What would their reaction be if you find it difficult to do each and every module at the speed they required? Often the prescribed exam order doesn't come as naturally as some other structure would for you.
To provide the maximum security and flexibility, it's normal for most trainees to make sure that every element of their training is posted to them in one go, with nothing held back. It's then your own choice in which order and at what speed you want to work.
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.
Security only exists now in a rapidly increasing marketplace, fuelled by a shortfall of trained staff. It's this alone that creates the correct background for a secure marketplace - a more attractive situation all round.
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.
Properly trained and commercially educated new employees are consequently at a total premium, and it seems it will continue to be so for a long time to come.
Actually, retraining in Information Technology throughout the next year or two is very likely the best choice of careers you could make.
