Comptia A-plus Training

Too many colleges just do courses. Always use a provider that specialises in IT training geared to the needs of industry. Each type of role asks for different levels of qualifications and skills, so we strongly recommend that you take advice from an industry expert before settling on a course or career path. That way you can be confident that the syllabus of your learning package fits the skill set of the job you want.

The CompTIA A+ training consists of four exams; A+ competency is given when you’ve passed the Essentials exam and one other from the remaining three areas. This is why most colleges offer only two of the training courses.

In reality you will need the training for all four areas as many jobs will require the skills and knowledge of all four areas. It’s not essential to take all four exams, but we would recommend you study all four courses. Then you can choose which one you take alongside the CompTIA Essentials exam.

CompTIA A+ Training. What Jobs Will It Lead To?
CompTIA A+ on its own will mean fixing, building and repairing stand-alone PC’s and MAC’s which are not part of a large network – usually personal computers in the home market.

If you add into the mix user-skills such as ECDL, MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) or MCDST (Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician), it will open the door to help-desk work. This could involve solving problems and giving instructions verbally over the phone for a client to follow, or more increasingly using remote access tools to take over someone’s computer via the internet or network.

If you would like to be the person who wanders around a company fixing and supporting, you’ll need to add CompTIA Network+, or consider the Microsoft networking route (MCSA – MCSE) as you’ll need a deeper understanding of how networks work.

If this sort of work is your thing, learning to you probably means getting stuck in and having a go! If all else fails read the instructions, – a practical hands-on approach to life. Any manuals you own probably gather dust and it’s a long time since you read anything from cover to cover.

If this has struck a chord, you’ll find a traditional training route of books, manuals and classrooms very uncomfortable. You could force yourself to do it but why bother when there are fully interactive on-screen training courses.

With modern technology you can now watch full motion video tutorials followed by on screen practical examples of what to do, and then practice your new found skills by interacting with the software in virtual labs. You’ll want to get back to it again soon, and it’s all sitting on your computer anytime you’re ready, with no need to trudge along to classes every week.

To complete this quality form of training, all you need is some friendly help and you’re on your way. We would recommend direct access 24/7 support where a tutor is waiting to communicate with you anytime of day or night. This sophisticated level of course and support has been put together and it’s out there if you look. When you find it, you’ll be surprised how much cheaper it is than traditional CompTIA A+ training.
