There are four A+ exams and specialised sectors, but you're just expected to achieve certification in two to be thought of as qualified. Because of this, a great number of colleges restrict their course to just 2 areas. But giving you all four options will provide you with a far greater perspective of the subject, which you'll come to realise is essential in professional employment.
As well as being taught about building and fixing computers, trainees involved in this training will be taught how to work in antistatic conditions, along with remote access, fault finding and diagnostics.
You might also choose to consider adding the CompTIA Network+ training as you'll then be in a position to work with networks, and have a more responsible working role.
It's not uncommon for companies to offer inclusive exam guarantees - they always involve paying for the exam fees up-front, when you pay for the rest of your course. Before you get carried away with a course with such a promise, why not look at the following:
Patently it isn't free - you're still paying for it - it's just been wrapped up in the price of the package.
It's everybody's ambition to qualify on the first attempt. Entering examinations one by one and paying for them just before taking them puts you in a much stronger position to qualify at the first attempt - you put the effort in and are mindful of the investment you've made.
Do your exams as locally as possible and don't pay up-front, but seek out the best deal for you when you're ready.
Why tie up your cash (or borrow more than you need) for examination fees when you didn't need to? A lot of profit is made because training colleges are getting money in early for exam fees - and then cashing in when they're not all taken.
Don't forget, with 'Exam Guarantees' from most places - they control when and how often you can re-take the exam. Subsequent exam attempts are only authorised at the company's say so.
Due to typical VUE and Prometric tests coming in at approximately 112 pounds in Great Britain, it makes sense to pay as you go. Why splash out often many hundreds of pounds extra at the beginning of your training? Commitment, effort and practice with quality exam preparation systems are the factors that really get you through.
Finding your first job in the industry sometimes feels easier to handle if you're offered a Job Placement Assistance service. It can happen though that too much is made of this feature, because it's relatively easy for any motivated and trained individual to secure work in the IT environment - as employers are keen to find appropriately skilled employees.
Advice and support about getting interviews and your CV might be provided (if not, see one of our sites for help). It's essential that you update that dusty old CV straight away - don't leave it till you pass the exams!
You might not even have passed your first exam when you will be offered your first junior support role; yet this won't be the case unless you've posted your CV on job sites.
You can usually expect quicker service from a local IT focused recruitment consultant or service than any training course provider's national service, as they'll know the area better.
A good number of students, it seems, conscientiously work through their course materials (for years sometimes), and just give up when it comes to trying to get a good job. Promote yourself... Do your best to put yourself out there. Don't think a job's just going to jump out in front of you.
We need to make this very clear: Always get full 24x7 instructor and mentor support. Later, you'll kick yourself if you don't.
You'll be waiting ages for an answer with email based support, and phone support is often to a call-centre who will just take down the issue and email it over to their technical team - who'll call back sometime over the next 1-3 days, when it's convenient to them. This isn't a lot of good if you're lost and confused and only have a specific time you can study.
The very best programs tend to use an online access 24x7 facility utilising a variety of support centres throughout multiple time-zones. You'll have an environment which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres irrespective of the time of day: Support when you need it.
Never compromise when it comes to your support. The majority of IT hopefuls who give up, are in that situation because of a lack of support.
Now, why is it better to gain qualifications from the commercial sector as opposed to familiar academic qualifications gained through the state educational establishments?
As demand increases for knowledge about more and more complex technology, industry has been required to move to the specialised core-skills learning that the vendors themselves supply - in other words companies such as CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA. This usually turns out to involve less time and financial outlay.
Many degrees, for instance, become confusing because of a great deal of loosely associated study - with much too broad a syllabus. This holds a student back from getting enough specific knowledge about the core essentials.
If an employer understands what they're looking for, then they just need to look for a person with the appropriate exam numbers. The syllabuses are set to exacting standards and aren't allowed to deviate (like academia frequently can and does). - 33394
