Hi welcome to CF, I also done my BTEC National in IT a few years back!

 

Welcome to CF!

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the studies!

 

thanks everyone for the great welcoming
just wondering on your opinion on what i should do as other certifications?
is comptia valued in the UK, if i have college and possibly uni studies(in the future)?

 

Welcome to CF!

 

hi sorry to qoute myself but having found out that after this year you are going to need to recertify yourself every 3 years i would really like to know if its worth doing the A+, N+ or S+ certificates.
I believe i would of covered most if not all of the A+ and N+ stuff in the BTEC course however i dont know if its worth it or not

 

After three years, I would hope that you'd have enough experience that the A+ and Network+ wouldn't be as vital to have on your CV. But at the beginning of your career, when you won't have much/any experience, the certifications are quite useful.

 

hmm yea i guess i think i might go for the S+ sometime this year as thats really the only thing my college course doesnt cover

 

You should really get the A+ and Network + before doing security+ they will be very beneficial.
