Well just registered and wanted to say hi to u all.

Basically I am looking to make a career change atm from Stockbroking to IT.

I live in Glasgow and I am 32 yrs old.

I have decided to start off with the CompTIA A+ certification.

Over the past few years I have taught myself how to build a pc, install OS and software and debug. I have built/upgraded 5 pc's and "fixed" several others ( all friends and family's). It is something I really enjoy and I am looking to make a career change.

I haven't decided which route to go after A+ - either Cisco or MCSA/E or Server 03.

I would like a bit of advice on where to sit the A+ exam (preferably in Glasgow but I would be willing to travel further).

So no doubt you will be seeing several posts from me as I start this new journey.

Kula.

Hi Kula - first of all a warm welsome to CertForums There will plenty more replies and welcomes, I can assure you..

You don't need to look any further than Glasgow to sit the A+ . I use Learning IT in the Ca'd'oro Building on Gordon Street (I think) - it's a chip wrapper's throw from the Taxi rank outside Central Station (tho there are other Test Centres around the City - that is my favourite).

For more info have a look at the VUE website. Gives you a full list of all centres worldwide, so you should find something to suit

Hope that helps, and speak soon

 

Thx for the welcome m8.

Yeah that was one of the places a friend directed me towards. I checked out their website but I couldn't find any information about sitting exams seperately from the courses ( perhaps I was just being thick and looking in the wrong place).

I will give them a phone tomorrow and see what they say.

The main problem I have is that I will be continuting to work fulltime in the Market and studying in my own time. I have used up most of my holiday entitlement for this year (only got 3 days left i think).

Thx for your advice.

 

OMG, another one from north of the border!!

Only kidding - a welcome from flat vowel syndrome South East England, you'll find in the main they are a great bunch around here - never stuck with a problem or question that goes unnoticed for too long!
