CompTIA A + has a total of two exams and sections to study, and you need to achieve certification in both for qualification purposes. Training courses in A+ teach diagnostic techniques and fault-finding - remotely as well as hands on, as well as building and fixing and working in antistatic conditions. Should you decide to add Network+ to your A+ course, you'll additionally be equipped to take care of networks, which means you'll be able to expect a better remuneration package.

It's likely that you're quite practically minded - a 'hands-on' type. Usually, the painful task of reading endless manuals would be considered as a last resort, but you'd hate it. Check out video-based multimedia instruction if book-based learning really isn't your style. Memory is vastly improved when multiple senses are involved - learning experts have been saying this for many years.

The latest audio-visual interactive programs involving demonstration and virtual lab's will forever turn you away from traditional book study. And you'll actually enjoy doing them. It's imperative to see examples of the study materials provided by the company you're considering. You'll want to see that they include video demo's and interactive elements such as practice lab's.

It is generally unwise to opt for on-line only training. Because of the variable quality and reliability of your average broadband company, make sure you get CD or DVD ROM based materials.

Every program under consideration has to build towards a fully recognised major qualification at the end - and not a worthless 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting. You'll find that only recognised examinations from the major players like Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA and Adobe will open the doors to employers.
