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.
The latest audio-visual interactive programs involving demonstration and virtual lab's will beat books every time. And they're far more fun.
All companies should be able to show you a few samples of their courseware. You should hope for instructor-led videos and a variety of interactive modules.
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.
Don't accept anything less than the current Microsoft (or relevant organisation's) accredited exam simulation and preparation packages.
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.
An important area that is sometimes not even considered by trainees considering a training program is 'training segmentation'. This is essentially how the program is broken down into parts to be delivered to you, which can make a dramatic difference to what you end up with.
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.
Ideally, you'd get ALL the training materials right at the beginning - giving you them all for the future to come back to - at any time you choose. This also allows you to vary the order in which you move through the program if you find another route more intuitive.
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.
We're able though to reveal security at the market sector level, by searching for high demand areas, together with a lack of qualified workers.
The Information Technology (IT) skills deficit in the United Kingdom is standing at approx 26 percent, as noted by the latest e-Skills survey. To put it another way, this highlights that the UK can only find three qualified staff for each four job positions that are available now.
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.
It's unlikely if a better time or market circumstances is ever likely to exist for gaining qualification for this hugely expanding and developing sector.
