I studied Information Systems at uni, but since having left I've found my career has gone off in a different direction.

But throughout I have always had a keen interest in all things PC related, and quite a good working knowledge. I suppose I'm more of a 'Jack of all Trades' rather than having any specific qualifications or areas of specialisation.

I would now like to formally get some industry recognised qualifications under my belt, and would like to do some freelance PC support, mostly for Home users.

I've already been doing this part time, but I feel if I get a few "proper" qualifications under my belt I would be more marketable.

Should I be starting out with something like CompTIA A+ ?

welcome to certfoums maldini44 i hope that you enjoy your stay, if there is any questions that you need asking regarding IT the youve come to the write place.

Im sure more people will be comming shortly to welcome you to certforums.

by the way there is some good material on the A+ section of certforums, that should help you get started on your A+ cert.

 

Welcome to CF!

Starting with the A+ is probably the best way

 

Greetings, Maldini44. Welcome to CertForums.

Just a word to the wise...I think you also posted the same info in the A+ forum. You don't have to create duplicate posts. One is usually sufficient. :wink

 

welcome to the forums mate!

 

Hi Maldini44 - welcome along, and hope we can help you

 

Welcome to the mad house!

 

Well on the advice of a lot of the posts and resources on here, I went out and bought Mike Myers' "All in One A+ Certification Exam Guide" this morinng, and am already trudging through some of the early chapters.

Anyways, great site, which I'm glad I've found, and will most certainly be using to pick a few of your brains over the ensuing months.

Watch this space..........
