That's certainly the right book!

Also worth finding some old PCs that people are throwing out and use them as training aids. i.e. disassemble them - compare with the book, etc.

Greetings. I agree with Harry correct book and get some old P.Cs. It is always good to get some hands on experience.

Hello

 

Hi there and welcome to CF

 

G'day

I agree, you have picked the best place to start studying.

However, to really make an impact and to survive in this industry you need to be good. The competition is huge, everyone thinks they could be a computer tech but in reality, much like most things in life, only the gifted talented people tend to succeed. Do not make the mistake of thinking that IT is easy to get into or jobs with good money are plentiful. They are as rare as an Aussie without thongs.

If you have what it takes i.e. determination, talent, experience with troubleshooting complex issues, an affinity with computers and all things related, a passion for continual learning and good customer handling skills. The world is your oyster but don't expect to get rich quick

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

Hiya and welcome to the forums. I am self studying the A+ and it is definitely a good idea to get an old PC to take apart. Good luck.
