There are four A+ exams and specialised sectors, but you only have topass two of them to qualify for your A+. As this is the case, themajority of training providers simply offer two. But allowing you tolearn about all 4 options will help you to build a far deeper level ofunderstanding of it all, which you'll come to realise is a Godsend inprofessional employment. A+ computer training courses coverdiagnostics and fault finding - both through hands-on and remoteaccess, in addition to building, fixing, repairing and having knowledgeof antistatic conditions. Should you want to work towards beingresponsible for networks of computers, you'll need to add CompTIANetwork+ to your training package. Including Network+ will prepare youto apply for more interesting jobs. Other ones that might beinteresting to you are the networking qualifications from Microsoft,i.e. MCP, MCSA MCSE. Commercial certification is now,undoubtedly, beginning to replace the traditional academic paths intoIT - why then has this come about? As demand increases for knowledgeabout more and more complex technology, industry has of necessity movedto the specialised core-skills learning that the vendors themselvessupply - namely companies such as Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe.This usually turns out to involve less time and financial outlay. In anutshell, only that which is required is learned. It's slightly morebroad than that, but the principle objective is to cover the preciseskills needed (alongside some required background) - without attemptingto cover a bit about all sorts of other things (as academia often does).As long as an employer understands what they're looking for, then theyjust need to look for the particular skill-set required. Commercialsyllabuses are set to meet an exact requirement and don't changebetween schools (in the way that degree courses can). Look atthe facts below very carefully if you believe the marketing blurb abouta guarantee for your exam looks like a reason to buy: Of courseit's not free - you're still coughing up for it - the price has simplybeen included in the whole thing. Should you seriously need to pass inone, you must avoid exam guarantees and pay when entering exams,prioritise it appropriately and give the task sufficient application.Isn't it in your interests to find the best exam deal or offer when youtake the exam, instead of paying a premium to the training company, andto do it in a local testing office - rather than possibly hours awayfrom your area? Why borrow the money or pay in advance (plus interestof course) on examinations when you don't need to? A lot of profit issecured by training companies getting paid upfront for exams - andbanking on the fact that many won't be taken. Don't forget, with 'ExamGuarantees' from most places - you are not in control of when you areallowed to do a re-take. You'll have to prove conclusively that you canpass before they'll pay for another exam. Exam fees averaged112 pounds or thereabouts last year when taken at Prometric or VUEcentres around the United Kingdom. So don't be talked into shelling outhundreds or thousands of pounds more to have 'an Exam Guarantee', whenany student knows that the most successful method is a commitment tostudying and the use of authorised exam preparation tools. Consideringhow a program is 'delivered' to you isn't always given the appropriatelevel of importance. In what way are your training elements sectioned?What is the specific order and what control do you have at what pace itarrives? Most companies will sell you a 2 or 3 year study programme,and courier the materials in pieces as you complete each section orexam. If you think this sound logical, then consider this: What if forsome reason you don't get to the end of all the sections or exams? Andwhat if the order provided doesn't meet your requirements? Due to nofault of yours, you may not meet the required timescales and thereforenot end up with all the modules. To be in the best situationyou would have every piece of your study pack posted to your homebefore you even start; the entire package! This way, nothing can happendown the line which could affect the reaching of your goals. Makesure you don't get caught-up, as a lot of students can, on theaccreditation program. Training is not an end in itself; you'retraining to become commercially employable. Stay focused on what it isyou want to achieve. It's a terrible situation, but thousands of newstudents commence training that sounds fabulous in the salesliterature, but which gets us a career that doesn't satisfy. Just askseveral college students for examples. Prioritise understandingthe expectations of your industry. Which particular certificationsyou'll be required to have and how you'll build your experience level.Spend some time thinking about how far you reckon you're going to wantto go as it will often control your selection of accreditations. It'sgood advice for all students to speak with an experienced industryadvisor before they make a decision on a particular training programme.This is essential to ensure it features what is required for thatcareer path.
