There are actually 4 different sectors in the A+ syllabus, of which you’ll need certification in two subjects for competency in A+. However restricting yourself to two of the specialised areas might well not equip you for a job. Look for training that covers all the specialist areas – you’ll be glad you did when it comes to interview time.

CCNA is the usual starting point for all Cisco training. This teaches you how to handle maintaining and installing routers. The internet is made up of many routers, and large companies that have various regional departments utilise them to connect their computer networks.

A Cisco training course is intended for individuals who wish to understand and work with routers and network switches. Routers join up networks of computers via the internet or dedicated lines. We’d recommend that you should start with the CCNA. It’s not advisable to launch directly into the CCNP as it’s a considerable step up – and you need to work up to it before you take this on.

Due to the exciting choices available, the electrical industry offers jobs that many people choose. Often (and more correctly) referred to as ‘Electro-Mechanical Engineering’, we’ll simply refer to it as the Electrical Industry for the sake of simplicity here. Furthermore, we will focus on the UK market and the domestic and commercial elements rather than those from elsewhere around the world. As this is such a wide ranging subject matter we’ll begin by sticking to the main area first and come back to the ‘add-ons’ later.

There are four specialist areas of training in a full CompTIA A+ program; you’re considered an A+ achiever once you’ve passed your exams for 2 out of 4 subjects. This is the reason that most colleges offer only two of the training courses. You’ll find that you will need the teaching in all areas as industry will be looking for an understanding of each specialist area. You don’t have to take all four exams, but we would recommend you at least have a working knowledge of every area.

For many people, a career within the electrical industry remains an interesting and varied choice. Within this document we will not use the full term of Electro-Mechanical Engineering but use the term Electrical Industry instead. Furthermore, we will focus on the UK market and the domestic and commercial elements rather than those from elsewhere around the world. Since there is such a wide list of choices in the electrical industry, we’ll start by looking at the main themes first and then come back to any ‘add-ons’ later.

Lots of people choose a career within the electrical industry because it both appeals and motivates them. Often (and more correctly) referred to as ‘Electro-Mechanical Engineering’, we’ll simply refer to it as the Electrical Industry for the sake of simplicity here. Equally we’ll focus on those credentials that fit the UK domestic and commercial sector rather than those from around the world. By starting on the main subjects and checking the ‘add-ons’ later on we can review the centre of the electrical industry.

To begin with newspapers appear to love discussing what can be earned in Plumbing. The lack of Plumbers in the UK has led to salaries of 30-70k p.a. being exhibited. Is this really a fib – or is this in fact accurate? Without a doubt, a fully experienced Plumber can command salaries of such levels. To be fair, the higher earnings of 70-100k p.a. are generally for those working within the self-employed field.

In the fast-paced world we live in, support workers who can solve problems with computers and networks, along with giving constant help to users, are essential in every part of the workplace. Our requirement for more skilled and qualified individuals multiplies, as society becomes significantly more beholden to computers in the twenty first century.
