CompTIA A + has a total of two exams and sections to study, and your requirement is to pass both of them to qualify for your A+. CompTIA A+ training programs cover fault-finding and diagnostics - via hands on and remote access, as well as building, fixing, repairing and having knowledge of antistatic conditions. If you're considering being the person who is a member of a large organisation - in network support, you'll need to add CompTIA Network+, or alternatively look at doing an MCSA or MCSE with Microsoft as you'll need a more advanced experience of how networks function.

With all the options available, it's not really surprising that a large percentage of newcomers to the industry get stuck choosing the job they could be successful with. Because in the absence of any solid background in Information Technology, how could any of us be expected to understand what a particular job actually consists of? The key to answering this issue appropriately flows from a full discussion of a number of areas:

* Personality factors as well as your interests - the sort of work-centred jobs you enjoy or dislike.

* Do you want to get qualified for a specific motive - for example, are you looking at working based from home (maybe self-employment?)?

* Does salary have a higher place on your priority-list than other factors.

* With many, many ways to train in Information Technology - you'll need to achieve some background information on what sets them apart.

* Taking a proper look into the effort, commitment and time you'll make available.

The best way to avoid the industry jargon, and discover the best route for you, have an informal meeting with an advisor with years of experience; someone that understands the commercial reality as well as the certifications.

Typically, a new trainee will not know to ask about something of absolutely vital importance - how their training provider breaks up the courseware, and into how many bits. By and large, you will purchase a course taking 1-3 years and get sent one module each time you pass an exam. This may seem sensible until you think about these factors: What happens when you don't complete every single section? And what if you find the order of the modules counter-intuitive? Because of nothing that's your fault, you might take a little longer and therefore not end up with all the modules.

Truth be told, the perfect answer is to get an idea of what they recommend as an ideal study order, but make sure you have all of your learning modules right from the beginning. Meaning you've got it all if you don't manage to finish at their required pace.
