Any program that you're going to undertake must provide a widely recognised qualification at the finale - not a useless 'in-house' plaque for your wall. The main industry leaders like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA each have internationally recognised proficiency programs. Major-league companies like these will make your CV stand-out.

Many students come unstuck over a single courseware aspect usually not even thought about: The breakdown of the course materials before being sent out to you. A release of your materials one stage at a time, taking into account your exam passes is the normal way of receiving your courseware. While sounding logical, you should consider these factors: What would their reaction be if you find it difficult to do each and every exam within the time limits imposed? Sometimes their preference of study order won't fit you as well as some other structure would for you.

In an ideal situation, you want ALL the study materials up-front - so you'll have them all to come back to in the future - at any time you choose. This allows a variation in the order that you complete each objective as and when something more intuitive seems right for you.

For a new entrant to I.T., CompTIA offers the basic foundation training in many areas. Wherever an individual chooses to work in I.T., there are various 'CompTIA' qualifications that will increase their skills. Those who are specifically considering Networking, Support, Systems, Security, Communications & Servers are particularly well-served. CompTIA are now also marketing 'STRATA' qualifications - they're not designed for men and women employed in the I.T. market, but for those whose careers need a basic knowledge of computing.
