There are two specialised areas of training in the overall A+ programme, of which you'll need certification in both subjects for competency in A+. Courses in A+ computer training teach diagnostic techniques and fault-finding - via hands on and remote access, in addition to learning to build, repair and fix and working in antistatic conditions. You might also choose to think about doing Network+ as it will enable you to become a networking engineer, which is where the bigger salaries are.

Including examination fees with the course fee then including an exam guarantee is popular with a good many training companies. Consider the facts:

Clearly it isn't free - you're still paying for it - the price has simply been included in the whole thing. Qualifying on the first 'go' is what everyone wants to do. Entering examinations one by one and funding them as you go sees you much better placed to get through first time - you prepare appropriately and are mindful of the investment you've made.

Isn't it outrageous to have to pay your training college early for examination fees? Go for the best offer at the appropriate time, don't pay mark-ups - and take it closer to home - instead of miles away at the college's beck and call. Why tie up your cash (or borrow more than you need) for exam fees when you don't need to? A lot of profit is made by companies getting money in early for exam fees - and hoping either that you won't take them, or it will be a long time before you do. Remember, with the majority of Exam Guarantees - you are not in control of when you can re-take the exam. You'll have to prove conclusively that you can pass before they'll pay for another exam.

Splashing out often many hundreds of pounds extra on an 'Exam Guarantee' is foolish - when hard work, commitment and the right preparation via exam simulations is what will really see you through.

A so-called advisor who doesn't dig around with lots of question - it's more than likely they're actually nothing more than a salesman. If they're pushing towards a particular product before learning about your history and current experience level, then you know you're being sold to. If you've got a strong background, or even a touch of work-based experience (some certifications gained previously perhaps?) then obviously your starting point will be very different from a student that is completely new to the industry. If this is your initial effort at studying to take an IT exam then you might also want to practice with some basic PC skills training first.

You should look for accredited simulation materials and an exam preparation system as part of your training package. Confirm that the simulated exams are not only asking questions on the correct subjects, but ask them in the way the real exams will formulate them. It can really throw some people if they're faced with unrecognisable phrases and formats. It's a good idea to ask for testing modules so you'll be able to verify your knowledge at all times. Practice or 'mock' exams prepare you properly - then you're much more at ease with the real thing.
