CompTIA Training Programs – Thoughts
CompTIA A + has a total of four exams and areas of study, but your only requirement is to get certified in 2 to be considered A+ competent. Because of this, many educational establishments restrict their course to just 2 areas. But giving you all four options will provide you with a much wider knowledge and understanding of it all, something you’ll discover is essential in professional employment.
A+ certification by itself will set you up to repair and fix stand alone Macs, computers and laptops; ones which are usually not part of a network – essentially the domestic or small business sector.
Were you to add Network+ training to your A+, you will additionally be able to assist with or manage networks of computers, meaning you’re in a position to move further up the career path.
Workshop days can be portrayed as an important element by a lot of trainers. When you talk to the majority of computer industry hopefuls who have partaken in a couple, you’ll discover that they’re really a major negative mainly due to the following:
* Constant journeys to the workshop centre – normally 100’s of miles.
* If you work for a living, then weekday only workshops are hard to attend. Typically you are having to deal with several days in a row too.
* The majority of us end up feeling twenty days annual leave is barely enough. Knock off a big chunk of this for training workshops and see how much more difficult it makes things.
* ‘In-Centre’ workshop days invariably become way too big.
* The ‘pace’ – centre-days can have students of varying aptitude, therefore there is often tension between those that want to go quickly as opposed to those who want to go a little slower.
* Let’s not forget the extra expense of arranging transport and bed and breakfast for the night either. This can run to hundreds and even thousands of pounds extra. Take some time to add it all up – you may be surprised.
* A lot of trainees want their training to remain private and therefore avoiding all come-back in their job.
* How many of us have avoided putting our hand’s up, because we wanted to look smarter?
* For those who have work away from home, it’s a fact of life that days in-centre now become difficult to get to – but unfortunately, they’ve been paid for in advance.
Infinitely more flexible is to make use of filmed classes in the comfort of your own home – studying at your own pace, when it suits you – not anybody else.
Just imagine… If you have a laptop you’re able to learn wherever you want. And 24×7 support is only a web-browser click away at times of difficulty.
It doesn’t matter how frequently you need to repeat a module, video-based instructors won’t ever lose patience! And don’t forget, with this method, there’s no need to take notes. It’s all there for quick access.
Although this can’t completely avoid every little difficulty, it definitely vastly reduces stress and simplifies things. You’ve also got less hassle, travel and costs.
Quite often, students have issues with a single courseware aspect usually not even thought about: How the training is broken down and delivered to your home.
Most companies will sell you a 2 or 3 year study programme, and drop-ship the materials to you piecemeal as you finish each section. Sounds reasonable? Well consider these facts:
How would they react if you didn’t complete all the exams at the proposed pace? Often the prescribed exam order doesn’t come as naturally as an alternative path could be.
For the perfect solution, you’d get ALL the training materials right at the beginning – enabling you to have them all for the future to come back to – at any time you choose. This allows a variation in the order that you complete each objective if you find another route more intuitive.
OK, why ought we to be looking at commercial qualifications instead of the usual academic qualifications obtained from the state educational establishments?
Industry now acknowledges that for mastery of skill sets for commercial use, certified accreditation from companies such as Adobe, Microsoft, CISCO and CompTIA is closer to the mark commercially – for much less time and money.
Obviously, a reasonable quantity of closely linked knowledge has to be learned, but essential specifics in the exact job role gives a commercially educated person a real head start.
Assuming a company knows what areas need to be serviced, then they just need to look for a person with the appropriate exam numbers. Syllabuses are all based on the same criteria and can’t change from one establishment to the next (in the way that degree courses can).
