Starting my CompTIA A+ Journey: From Enthusiast to Certified Pro 🛠️💻

I’ve officially decided to level up my technical foundation by diving into the CompTIA A+ certification! This isn't just about passing an exam; it's about mastering the "how" and "why" of the hardware and software that keep our world running. I'm documenting my progress here to stay accountable and share the highs and lows of troubleshooting my way to professional expertise.

I’d love to tap into the collective wisdom of this community. To those who have cleared the A+ or are currently working in IT support: What is the one piece of advice or study resource you wish you had when you started? Whether it’s a specific lab strategy or a tip for tackling the networking domain, I’m all ears!
My experence is different from another
1. Get your certification
2. use the trobuleshooting methodlogy as a model .
3. use the internet as an assistance to check for any issue
however there are many people in our community that have wild experence thtat can contribute .

Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

And just to add to what Greg said here - CompTIA used to have a Certified Technical Trainer credential, which was discontinued a few years ago. Personally, I'd love to see some kind of Instructor credential return, but for now, the best we can hope for is "a certified professional who teaches CompTIA certification courses." - an often thankless job that is also, sadly, credential-less.

Cheers

CIN Sneak Peek: CySA+ V4

As an instructor, I enjoy the sneak peek almost as much as the TTT's in that it spends a good amount of time showing where the focus has shifted from the previous versions.

My college has been considering CySA+, and this refresh might be just what we need to get that ball rolling.
