Two separate areas of study make up a full CompTIA A+; you're considered an A+ achiever when you've achieved certifications for both of these areas.
Once on the CompTIA A+, you'll become familiar with how to build computers and fix them, and work in antistatic conditions. You'll also cover fault finding and diagnostics, through both hands-on and remote access.
You may also want to think about adding the CompTIA Network+ training as you can then also become a networking engineer, and have a more responsible working role.
Often, people don't catch on to what information technology is about. It is stimulating, innovative, and means you're doing your bit in the gigantic wave of technology that will impact the whole world for generations to come.
We're barely starting to get to grips with how this will truly impact our way of life. How we correlate with the world as a whole will be significantly affected by technology and the internet.
Let's not forget that typical remuneration in the world of IT over Britain as a whole is a lot more than in the rest of the economy, so you'll be in a good position to receive a lot more once qualified in IT, than you'd get in most other industries.
It's evident that we have a great nationwide requirement for certified IT specialists. And with the marketplace continuing to expand, it is likely there will be for a good while yet.
Beware of putting too much emphasis, as can often be the case, on the training course itself. Training is not an end in itself; this is about employment. You need to remain focused on where you want to go.
It's an awful thing, but a large percentage of students kick-off study that often sounds magnificent from the prospectus, but which provides the end-result of a job that is of no interest. Speak to a selection of college students for examples.
Be honest with yourself about what you want to earn and the level of your ambition. Usually, this will point the way to what precise accreditations you will need and what industry will expect from you in return.
Our recommendation would be to seek guidance and advice from an industry professional before embarking on a particular learning program, so there's little doubt that a program provides the appropriate skill-set.
Of all the important things to consider, one of the most essential is always comprehensive 24x7 direct-access support via professional mentors and instructors. Too many companies only seem to want to help while they're in the office (9am till 6pm, Monday till Friday usually) and nothing at the weekends.
Be wary of any training providers who use 'out-of-hours' messaging systems - with your call-back scheduled for the next 'working' day. It's not a lot of help when you've got study issues and need help now.
World-class organisations tend to use a web-based 24x7 service combining multiple support operations over many time-zones. You're offered a single, easy-to-use environment which switches seamlessly to the best choice of centres irrespective of the time of day: Support when it's needed.
Never ever take second best when it comes to your support. The majority of IT hopefuls who can't get going properly, would have had a different experience if they'd got the right support package in the first place.
Let's admit it: There really is absolutely no individual job security available anymore; there's really only industry and business security - a company will remove anyone when it fits the business' commercial interests.
But a quickly growing market-place, with a constant demand for staff (as there is a growing shortage of properly qualified professionals), opens the possibility of true job security.
Investigating the computing industry, a recent e-Skills investigation brought to light an over 26 percent skills deficit. Or, to put it differently, this clearly demonstrates that the UK can only find 3 trained people for each 4 job positions available at the moment.
Highly taught and commercially educated new professionals are as a result at a resounding premium, and it's estimated to remain so for a long time.
With the market developing at such a rate, is there any other market worth considering as a retraining vehicle.
