Hi everyone, I am looking at starting a new career in IT support, and thinking of starting of with the strata fundamentals course then move on to the A+ and N+. Is this a good idea and is there anyone who may of done the Strata course and would recommend it. Thank you

I can't see having an extra cert hurting at all, but I believe in all honesty just get the A+ if you feel up to it. If you would rather start off with the strata course then by all means do it! I went straight to my A+ and am going for Net+ now, if you would like some ideas on study guides for A+ or anything just let me know :]

Yes, I did the Strata. I was doing the Cisco ITE course at the time and was looking ahead to the A+, but I didn't feel ready due to the amount of material it seemed to cover. I decided to do the Strata first to get a feel for CompTIA's style, the examinination process, and also build confidence and motivation to move ahead by setting interim goals. So you could say I treated Strata as staging for the A+, and I'm doing much the same with Microsoft's MTA track as a preparation for their higher level.

However, as the previous poster notes, you don't really need these if you plan on moving up the ladder anyway.

 

Thanks for all your replies, Adegilio, I have been looking at the professor messer site, what do you think? or do you have any other suggestions?
