With an abundance of IT and computer courses on offer these days, it’s best to take advice from a company that can help you decide on the right one for you. Reputable organisations will talk thoroughly through the different job roles that could be right for you, before offering you a training program that can take you where you want to go. Why not try Microsoft User Skills packages, or take a career track and specialise. Plain speaking courses will help you achieve the goals you set yourself.

The CompTIA A+ course comprises of 4 specialised sectors - the requirement is exam passes in 2 specialities to be considered A+ competent. This is why, most colleges only offer two of the training options. We think this is selling you short - certainly you’ll have the qualification, but knowledge of every section will give you greater confidence in industry, where knowledge of all four will be necessary. That’s the reason why you deserve training in all 4 specialities.

Without a constant influx of trained network and computer support workers, industry in the United Kingdom (as elsewhere) would surely run into problems.

Training for your CompTIA A+ covers 4 different sectors - you need to pass exams in 2 different areas to reach the level of A+ competent. For this reason, most training providers only offer two of the four areas. To us, this is selling you short - sure, you can pass an exam, but experience of all four will give you a distinct advantage in your working life, where knowledge of all four will be necessary. So that’s why you need education in the whole course.
