With the new A+ exams Looming.

The link below shows the Certificate title for each A+ candidate.

Unlike the original A+ (2003) you will have a labelled Cert.

Will this restrict A+ candidates when applying for jobs?
i.e - if you have remote technician cert instead depot technician and vice versa?
will employers know the difference and if they do, then what implications will this have on employment?

Looking at it,the additonial certificate will define a candidates orientation within the IT field,leaning toward security whilst still having a competent understanding of the basics,for example.

 

Why not go for all of the designations?

 

Why not have one that covers all these deignations such as a Master or gold certificate?

If you were a employer Wizard and you wanted someone with knowledge of Remote desktop experience which would you employ a person with A+ & Remote designation or A+ Deport technician?

Which certificate stands out more for the job required?

220-603 or 220-604?

 

Good Point!

Will N+ also be upgraded?

 

Not till I've passed mine,I hope...

 

Network+ was upgraded fairly recently - so I doubt they will try and do it again soon.

Can you remember how recently recent was Harry?

Cheers...

 

Last year. (<cough> - a quick check of the CompTIA site would have told you that! )

I have never heard of an NVQ5, is that a UK thing now?

I would think twice about studying any quals that are not internationally recognised. My 5 years of C&G certs in electronics are worth absolutely zilch here in Oz, as nobody recognises them.

A degree is globally recognised and you never know where life will take you.

 

Wagnerk don't you mean NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications)?

 

There are several different levels of NVQ. Off the top of my head (and so expecting to be corrected), a level 1 NVQ is equivalent to a GCSE and a level 2 is equivalent to an A-Level.

 

As Baba has already said NVQ's differ in their levels. This link gives you a broad idea of their academic equivallent.

 

I know what the levels are. :

 

thanks for the link monkey. I've not heard anything about this.
