There are a total of 2 specialist training sectors in the complete CompTIA A+ course, of which you'll need certification in both subjects for competency in A+. A+ computer training courses teach diagnostic techniques and fault-finding - via hands on and remote access, alongside learning to build, repair and fix and understanding antistatic conditions. Should you decide to add Network+ training to your A+, you will additionally be able to take care of networks, giving you the facility to apply for more senior positions.

Some training providers will only offer office hours or extended office hours support; It's rare to find someone who offers late evening or full weekend cover. Avoid training courses that only support students through a call-centre messaging system after 6-9pm in the evening and during weekends. Training organisations will try to talk you round from this line of reasoning. The simple fact of the matter is - you want support at the appropriate time - not when it suits them.

Top training companies utilise several support facilities across multiple time-zones. By utilising an interactive interface to join them all seamlessly, any time of the day or night, there is always help at hand, without any problems or delays. Unless you insist on online 24x7 support, you'll regret it very quickly. You may avoid using the support during the night, but you're bound to use weekends, late evenings or early mornings.

The somewhat scary thought of getting your first job can be relieved by some training providers because they offer a Job Placement Assistance facility. Ultimately it's not as difficult as you may be led to believe to find a job - as long as you're correctly trained and certified; the growing UK skills shortage sees to that.

Advice and support about getting interviews and your CV might be provided (alternatively, check out one of our sites for help). Be sure to you update that dusty old CV today - don't leave it till you pass the exams! Having the possibility of an interview is more than not being known. A surprising amount of junior support roles are got by trainees (sometimes when they've only just got going.) You'll normally experience better results from an independent and specialised local recruitment consultancy than any training company's employment division, because they'll know the area better.

To bottom line it, if you put the same amount of effort into landing your first job as into studying, you're not likely to experience problems. A number of trainees bizarrely put hundreds of hours into their training and studies and then call a halt once they've got certified and appear to be under the impression that jobs will come to them.

Every program under consideration should always lead to a properly recognised exam as an end-result - not some little 'in-house' plaque for your wall. From an employer's viewpoint, only the big-boys like Microsoft, CompTIA, Adobe or Cisco (for example) provide enough commercial weight. Nothing else makes the grade.
