Computer Training - CompTIA
In the UK today, industry couldn’t function properly without the help of support workers fixing computers and advising users on a day to day basis. The need for more qualified personnel grows as we become ever more dependent on computers in the modern world.
Prior to embarking on a specific training programme, trainees are advised to discuss their career requirements with a skilled advisor, in order to be sure their course covers everything they’re going to need.
CompTIA A+ Computer Training covers four specialised areas - you need to pass exams in two of these areas to be considered A+ competent. Because of this, most colleges only offer two of the training options, but we think this is selling you short - sure, you can pass an exam, but experience of all four will give you a distinct advantage in industry, where you’ll need to know about all of them.
And that’s why you will need training for all four areas. You only need to take two of the exams for certification, and you can choose which other one you take alongside the Essentials exam.
A+ Computer Training, For A Career In IT…
If this is your first attempt at studying to take an IT exam you might want to cut your teeth on some user skills first. Take advice on where the right place is for you to start based on your current skill level.
As well as learning how to build and fix computers, students on the A+ training course will be taught how to work in antistatic conditions, along with fault finding and diagnostics.
If you add Network+ training to your A+, you’ll also have the ability to look after networks, which means you’ll be able to command a higher salary.
A typical IT support worker tends to be very hands-on and practical.For this reason, traditional teaching in classrooms with books and manuals can be very hard going. If this describes you, look for learning programmes that are on-screen and interactive.
Find a course where you’ll receive a library of CD’s and DVD Rom’s - you’ll learn by watching video tutorials and demonstrations, and then have the opportunity to practice your skills in interactive labs. You should also make sure you test your depth of understanding in quizzes and practice in exam environments before you take the real thing.
Try and find training where you can receive help at any time of day or night (even 1am on Sunday morning!) Make sure it’s always direct access to tutors (not a message system) as this will slow you down, waiting for tutors to call you back during office hours.
