A+ consists of four exams and areas of study, but you only need to achieve certification in two to qualify for your A+. Because of this, many educational establishments restrict their course to just 2 areas. But allowing you to learn about all 4 options will provide you with a far deeper level of understanding of it all, something you'll discover is vital in the working environment.
Alongside being taught about the ins and outs of building and maintaining computers, students involved in this training will have instruction on how to operate in antistatic conditions, as well as diagnostics, fault-finding and remote access.
If you would like to be the kind of individual who works in a multi-faceted environment - fixing and supporting networks, you should include CompTIA Network+ to your training package, or consider the Microsoft networking route (MCSA - MCSE) because it's necessary to have a wider knowledge of the way networks work.
A useful feature provided by many trainers is a programme of Job Placement assistance. The service is put in place to steer you into your first IT role. The fact of the matter is it isn't a complex operation to secure the right work - as long as you've got the necessary skills and qualifications; employers in this country need your skills.
Having said that, it's important to have help and assistance with preparing a CV and getting interviews though; and we'd encourage all students to update their CV the day they start training - don't wait till you've finished your exams.
Getting onto the 'maybe' pile of CV's is better than being rejected. Often junior support jobs are bagged by people in the early stages of their course.
The most efficient companies to help get you placed are usually specialised and independent recruitment consultants. As they will get paid by the employer when they've placed you, they have the necessary incentive to try that bit harder.
Various men and women, it would appear, spend evenings and weekends on their training and studies (sometimes for years), only to do nothing special when finding a good job. Sell yourself... Do your best to put yourself out there. Don't expect a job to just fall into your lap.
A question; why is it better to gain commercially accredited qualifications rather than the usual academic qualifications taught at the state educational establishments?
With university education costs spiralling out of control, alongside the IT sector's recognition that corporate based study most often has much more commercial relevance, we've seen a big surge in CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA accredited training courses that create knowledgeable employees at a fraction of the cost and time involved.
Many degrees, as a example, often get bogged down in vast amounts of loosely associated study - and much too wide a syllabus. This prevents a student from understanding the specific essentials in enough depth.
Think about if you were the employer - and your company needed a person with some very particular skills. What should you do: Pore through reams of different degrees and college qualifications from graduate applicants, trying to establish what they know and which vocational skills they have, or select a specialised number of commercial certifications that precisely match your needs, and then select who you want to interview from that. You'll then be able to concentrate on getting a feel for the person at interview - rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.
For the most part, a everyday trainee doesn't have a clue how they should get into a computing career, let alone which market they should look at getting trained in.
Scanning lists of IT career possibilities is a complete waste of time. The majority of us don't even know what our own family members do for a living - so we're in the dark as to the intricacies of a particular IT career.
The key to answering this dilemma in the best manner stems from a thorough talk over several areas:
* Your individual personality as well as your interests - the sort of work-related things please or frustrate you.
* What is the time-frame for retraining?
* What are your thoughts on salary vs the travel required?
* Considering all that computing encapsulates, it's obvious you'll need to be able to take in what's different.
* Having a good look at what commitment and time that you're going to put into it.
Ultimately, your only chance of checking this all out is via a good talk with an experienced advisor that through years of experience will give you the information required.
Proper support is incredibly important - find a program offering 24x7 direct access to instructors, as anything else will annoy you and definitely put a damper on the speed you move through things.
Avoid, like the plague, any organisations who use 'out-of-hours' call-centres - with the call-back coming in during office hours. This is useless when you're stuck and need help now.
Top training providers opt for an internet-based 24x7 service utilising a variety of support centres over many time-zones. You'll have a single, easy-to-use interface which seamlessly selects the best facility available any time of the day or night: Support available as-and-when you want it.
Always choose a trainer that offers this level of study support. Only true round-the-clock 24x7 support gives you the confidence to make it.
