In total, there are 2 A+ examinations and study sections, and you have to get certified in both of these to qualify for your A+. Training courses in A+ are about fault finding and diagnosing – via hands on and remote access, as well as building and fixing and having knowledge of antistatic conditions. If your ambition is being responsible for networks of computers, add the excellent CompTIA Network+ to the CompTIA A+ training you’re doing. This will mean you can apply for more interesting jobs. You may also want to consider the route to networking via Microsoft, in the form of MCP’s, MCSA or the full MCSE.

A typical blunder that many potential students make is to concentrate on the course itself, and take their eye off where they want to get to. Schools are full of direction-less students that chose a program because it looked interesting – rather than what would get them the job they want. Never let yourself become one of those unfortunate students who choose a training program which looks like it could be fun – and end up with a plaque on the wall for a job they hate.

Prioritise understanding the expectations of your industry. Which qualifications you’ll need and how you’ll go about getting some commercial experience. You should also spend a little time considering how far you wish to progress your career as it may present a very specific set of accreditations. We’d recommend you take advice from a skilled advisor before making your final decision on some particular training course, so there’s no doubt that a program provides the appropriate skill-set.

Consider the facts below carefully if you think that over-used sales technique about examination guarantees seems like a good idea:

Patently it isn’t free – you’re still being charged for it – the price has simply been included in the whole thing. For those who want to pass first time, then you should fund each exam as you take it, give it the priority it deserves and be ready for the task.

Doesn’t it make more sense to not pay up-front, but when you’re ready, instead of paying a premium to the training course provider, and to take it closer to home – rather than in some remote centre? A great deal of money is made by many companies who incorporate exam fees into the cost of the course. For various reasons, many students don’t take their exams and so the company is quids-in. Believe it or not, there are companies around that depend on students not taking their exams – and that’s how they increase their profits. Re-takes of any failed exams with companies with an ‘Exam Guarantee’ are tightly controlled. You’ll be required to sit pre-tests to make sure they think you’re going to pass.

Exams taken at VUE and Prometric centres are around 112 pounds in this country. Students should be very wary of forking out hundreds of pounds extra in ‘Exam Guarantee’ fees (often hidden in the cost) – when a quality course, support and study, commitment and preparing with good quality mock and practice exams is what will really guarantee success.

Each programme of learning must provide a fully recognised major certification at the finale – not an useless ‘in-house’ plaque for your wall. You’ll find that only recognised examinations from the major players like Microsoft, Adobe, CompTIA and Cisco will open the doors to employers.
