There are four specialist areas of training in a full CompTIA A+ program; you\’re considered an A+ achiever when you\’ve gained exams for 2 out of 4 subjects. This is the reason that most training providers limit themselves to 2 study areas. In reality to carry out a job effectively, you\’ll need the training for all four areas as a lot of employment will demand an awareness of the entire course. Don\’t feel pressured to qualify in them all, but it seems common sense that you take tutorials in all 4 subjects.

As well as learning how to build PC\’s and fix them, students of A+ will learn how to operate in antistatic conditions, how to fault find, to diagnose and to remotely access problems.

If you would like to be the person who works in a multi-faceted environment – fixing and supporting networks, build on A+ with Network+, or consider the Microsoft networking route (MCSA – MCSE) as you\’ll need a deeper understanding of how networks work.

Getting your first commercial position can feel more straightforward if you\’re supported with a Job Placement Assistance program. The fact of the matter is it\’s not as hard as some people make out to secure the right work – once you\’re trained and certified; the shortage of IT personnel in Britain looks after that.

You would ideally have CV and Interview advice and support though; also we would encourage all students to get their CV updated as soon as they start a course – don\’t wait till you\’ve finished your exams.

Getting onto the \’maybe\’ pile of CV\’s is far better than not even being known about. Often junior support jobs are given to students (who\’ve only just left first base.)

Generally, you\’ll receive quicker service from a specialised and independent local recruitment service than you\’ll experience from any course provider\’s employment division, as they will understand the local industry and employment needs.

Just ensure you don\’t put hundreds of hours of effort into your studies, and then just stop and leave it up to everyone else to secure your first position. Stop procrastinating and get on with the job. Channel the same focus into finding your first job as you did to gain the skills.

Beware of putting too much emphasis, as many people do, on the certification itself. Training for training\’s sake is generally pointless; you\’re training to become commercially employable. You need to remain focused on where you want to go.

It\’s unfortunate, but thousands of new students begin programs that seem spectacular from the marketing materials, but which provides a job that is of no interest. Try talking to typical college graduates to see what we mean.

Spend some time thinking about how much you want to earn and the level of your ambition. This will influence which precise certifications you\’ll need to attain and how much effort you\’ll have to give in return.

Before you embark on a study course, trainees are advised to chat over the specific job requirements with an experienced industry advisor, in order to be sure the retraining programme covers all that is required.

Considering how a program is \’delivered\’ to 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?

Usually, you\’ll join a programme staged over 2 or 3 years and receive a module at a time. This sounds logical on one level, until you consider this:

Maybe the order of study insisted on by the company won\’t suit you. It may be difficult to get through every element inside of their particular timetable?

For future safety and flexibility, many trainees now want to insist that all study materials are delivered immediately, and not in stages. That means it\’s down to you in what order and how fast or slow you\’d like to work.

Traditional teaching in classrooms, involving piles of reference textbooks, is often a huge slog for most of us. If this describes you, look for learning programmes that are multimedia based.

Research has always verified that becoming involved with our studies, to utilise all our senses, is proven to produce longer-lasting and deeper memory retention.

Interactive full motion video involving demonstration and virtual lab\’s will beat books every time. And you\’ll find them fun and interesting.

It would be silly not to view a small selection of training examples before you purchase a course. You should expect video tutorials, instructor demo\’s and audio-visual elements backed up by interactive lab\’s.

You should avoid purely online training. Ideally, you should opt for CD and DVD ROM courseware where obtainable, as you need to be able to use them whenever it\’s convenient for you – and not be totally reliant on a good broadband connection all the time.
