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.
If you decide to become a student on the A+ training program you will develop an understanding of how to work in antistatic conditions and build and fix computers. You'll also cover fault-finding and diagnostic techniques, both remotely and via direct access.
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.
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.
If we're able to get all of our senses involved in our learning, then the results are usually dramatically better.
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'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.
Plump for actual CD or DVD ROM's if possible. You can then avoid all the difficulties of broadband outages, failure and signal quality issues etc.
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.
It's a good idea to have some simulated exam questions that will allow you to check your knowledge at all times. Mock exams add to your knowledge bank - so the actual exam is much easier.
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?
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:
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.
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.
Locating job security nowadays is problematic. Businesses will drop us from the workplace at the drop of a hat - whenever it suits.
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.
Offering the IT market for example, the 2006 e-Skills analysis highlighted a skills shortage throughout Great Britain of around 26 percent. Showing that for each four job positions in existence throughout IT, we've only got three properly trained pro's to fulfil that role.
This disturbing truth reveals the requirement for more properly qualified IT professionals throughout the UK.
Unquestionably, now, more than ever, really is the very best time to train for IT. - 33394
