| 1342163 | 2013-05-20 06:10:00 | Hello all and thanks for the warm welcome guys but I suggest that you have a welcome page/thread for us new comers? (assuming I haven't stupidly missed it somehow). I'm a noob, you may have guessed that already by my name (how observant of you) and that fact will never change. OK straight to business. I am looking at doing some CompTIA courses and need help (no not mentally, I have my psychiatrist for that). I want to do a CompTIA A+ course at AMES IT and just to get started i have some questions. 1) What are your thoughts on the quality of CompTIA certifications and their standards of technical skill level required to pass? 3) Is the CompTIA qualification a good qualification compared to others in relation to employment in New Zealand? 3) Are there better looking similar qualifications to employers because it has higher standards? (apart from the obvious higher level qualifications; this course is a "Certificate in Computer, Technical and Client Support (Level 5)") 7) If I have not done any computer related subjects in school and go straight to doing this course with "very basic knowledge of computers" do you think it will be too difficult for the average user to be expected to keep up with? (for example I know how to click on a text editor and type cool phrases like "Apples way better than Microsoft, it's in jail apparently and needs to be broken out; such a tough and rebellious OS to have deserved this punishment") I was looking at doing the CompTIA qualifications in this order (don't ask why, my psychiatrist is paid to do that): CompTIA: A+, Server+, Network+, Security+. Linux +, CASP. I've only found a vendor for A+ but other questions will come in later as your answers will help me decide what I'm doing; yes I do want to know a lot of the basics about computers. I am heading towards the information security area which is where I want to end up. If you aren't certified you can always get a job through contacts or by proving how good you are to a business and hoping you get employed? I prefer the certification just so I call the shots *blows index fingers on both hands individually then sucks thumb*. After these questions are answered by the communities best, assuming the answers are helpful I may have a few more but feel free to give me your opinion and if necessary give references to back it up such as a link or a story about how you and bill created Microsoft; make it interesting but don't lie because lie rhymes with die and that I'm sure is a result of the action. I'm a colourless chameleon... Nope didn't work; worth a try. And if by any chance this post is in the wrong place (I assume F1 is for computer problems; not what I'm asking but if that's where my questions are more suited) then move me please Mr Admin; woah yeah, please, please, Mr Ad-ad-ad-admin. d-.-b Regards, uNoob |

| 1342172 | 2013-05-20 10:19:00 | Just looking at your post, what is it you actually want to do for a job ? Whats basically asked is a general set of questions, not really relating to any one or two occupations. Some courses are great for what you intend to do, others not so great. What you actually listed: "CompTIA: A+, Server+, Network+, Security+. Linux +, CASP" Can be part of several different professions. Just a point and "Helpful advice" for future references ;) -- looking at the original post again, I'd be very likely to dismiss it completely if I were an employer and the application was written like that, in similar format -- :groan:. Why you may ask ??? :confused: Take a look at the questions / numbers ???? They are numbered 1,3,3,7 instant thought -- that's a copy/paste job that has not been proof read before presenting ( should read 1,2,3,4) -- So what's the persons actual work going to be like --- tisk tisk. |
