CompTIA Network Support Computer Career Certification - An Update

By Jason Kendall

In this day and age, industry couldn't function properly without assistance from support workers fixing both computers and networks, while making recommendations to users on a day to day basis. As we get to grips with the complex nature of technology, many more competent professionals are needed to dedicate themselves to the many areas we rely on.

Any advisor who doesn't dig around with lots of question - chances are they're just trying to sell you something. If they wade straight in with a specific product before understanding your background and current experience level, then you know you're being sold to.

With some real-world experience or some accreditation, it may be that your starting point of study is not the same as someone new to the industry.

Where this will be your initial crack at studying to take an IT exam then you might also want to practice with some basic PC skills training first.

Those that are drawn to this type of work are usually quite practically-minded, and aren't really suited to the classroom environment, and endless reading of dry academic textbooks. If this is putting you off studying, try the newer style of interactive study, with on-screen demonstrations and labs.

Many studies have proved that we remember much more when we use all our senses, and we take action to use what we've learned.

Search for a course where you're provided with an array of CD or DVD ROM's - you'll be learning from instructor videos and demo's, and then have the opportunity to fine-tune your skills in fully interactive practice sessions.

It's very important to see some example materials from the company you're considering. Be sure that they contain video demo's and interactive elements such as practice lab's.

It's folly to select online only courseware. With highly variable reliability and quality from most broadband providers, it makes sense to have CD or DVD ROM based materials.

Being a part of revolutionary new technology is as thrilling as it comes. You personally play your part in impacting progress around the world.

There are people who believe that the technological advancement that's been a familiar part of our recent lives is lowering its pace. All indicators point in the opposite direction. Terrific advances are ahead of us, and the internet particularly is going to dominate how we conduct our lives.

A typical IT worker across the UK will also get significantly more money than fellow workers in much of the rest of the economy. Typical incomes are some of the best to be had nationwide.

Due to the technological sector developing nationally and internationally, it's predictable that demand for certified IT specialists will remain buoyant for years to come.

It's important to understand: a actual training program or a qualification is not the ultimate goal; a job you're training for is. Far too many training organisations put too much weight in the qualification itself.

It's possible, in many cases, to thoroughly enjoy one year of training and then spend 20 miserable years in a tiresome job role, simply because you did it without the correct level of soul-searching when you should've - at the outset.

Spend some time thinking about earning potential and whether you're an ambitious person or not. This will influence which precise qualifications will be required and what you can expect to give industry in return.

Our recommendation would be to seek advice from a professional advisor before settling on a learning programme, so there's little doubt that a program provides the skill-set required for your career choice.
