CompTIA Training ROI's
The 5 CompTIA TRAINING RETURN ON INVESMENTS
Not everyone needs to qualify! Time is our most valuable asset and often we should focus on gaining knowledge and ability without spending the extra time and effort gaining certification. For example, if your training ambition is to become CompTIA Security+ certified to start a career in Cyber Security, learning A+ and Network+ will provide the assumed knowledge and ability. You can cut your study time in half with your A+ and Network+ training if you do not need to pass the exams. However, new cyber security hopefuls who are certified in A+ and Network+ will get preferential treatment for interview slots and employment.
Please note, it is too easy to invest in any training course, without being advised about the significant course pre-requisites. Feel free to ask Martin about CompTIA training course assumptions on experience and previous training. Simply fill in the form below.
Assess and choose your training outcomes carefully. The number of training days stated are based on immersive training days of 10+ hours per day.
ROI 1 Comprehensive Understanding of modern theory and systems.
5 ILT (Instructor-led-Training-days)
This can be met quickly by attending the up-to-date, official CompTIA course. If you need a comprehensive overview of modern system principles, systems, services as well as best industry practice, ROI1 will meet this for you.
Suitable for:
Managerial personnel who have a management role.
Systems Engineers who need an ILT boost to their training and will use self-study to upskill to ROI 2.
ROI 2 Technically Competent, Capable & Experienced with systems, devices, and applications.
5 ILT days + 2 weekend self-study days with evening assignments.
In addition to attending your instructor-led course, you will complete CertMaster Learn reading assignments, watch the CompTIA official videos, work the lesson flashcards, lesson test, and practice PBQs. To develop technical ability with the systems you have learnt about, you will start to deep dive into the CompTIA CertMaster Labs. The CompTIA SMART Success Plan schedules each lab twice. The first time you work in the labs, the training outcome is to learn to navigate the systems and networks. Take Techability notes for exam revision and upskilling fast.
The second time you take the labs, review your notes first. The training outcome on your second attempt is to improve familiarity with the systems as you start to perfect your craft.
Suitable for:
Engineers who need to hit the ground running at work and mitigate the liability of being predominately classroom trained with limited access to the systems.
ROI 3 Professional Understanding, enhanced understanding and troubleshooting ability.
7 ILT days + 2 weekend self-study days with evening assignments.
To sign off on ROI 3 is to have attended the Official CompTIA course, completed the Exam Prep KPIs for CertMaster Learn and Labs. This includes securing a CertMaster Learn Final Assessment test score of 87.5% or higher in a closed book test.
Suitable for:
Systems engineers who need to rapidly boost their technical knowledge and ability beyond that achieved by the average CompTIA student.
ROI 4 CompTIA Certified, with the technical knowledge and ability that CompTIA certification suggests you have, but so few achieve.
10 ILT days + 2 weekend self-study days with evening assignments.
On day 10 of your immersive training experience, you will be ready to start your Exam Prep Phase. This sprint to the exam finishing line on Exam Friday, includes working on the final system from your Student Success Kit, CertMaster Practice. This exceptional tool will provide instant feedback on the areas you need personal assistance with. It will work you through questions following the exam domains that are different, but aligned to the official CompTIA lessons. Once you have completed the exam domain tests and your training metrics show a comfortable score, you will work on the CertMaster Practice Final Assessment. This will be the second complete practice test of 90 minutes and up to 90 questions. Just like the Final Assessment from CertMaster Learn, a score of 87.5% or higher is required to maximise your chances of a first time passing with the real exam.
On the 12th day is Exam Friday. If your 7 Exam Prep KPIs have been met, you should ace the exam.
Suitable for:
Systems engineers who are quickly building a reputation as a system’s professional, with advanced subject knowledge and technical ability. Engineers who made the choice to make their mistakes and their technical disasters in the safety of the CompTIA CertMaster Labs. Who gained industry experience without bringing down live systems.
ROI 5. Expert CompTIA Engineer.
To achieve ROI 4 in just 12-days is an outstanding achievement. It is always important to remember that in the Computing Technology Industry, developments move fast, and within the sector we select to work in to stay current and viable, we need to be constantly learning. With The CompTIA Student Success Kit, you have 12-months access to the systems from the day of registration. This allows you to revisit the systems as often as you need to in that time frame. You will also gain industry-focused experience working within your job role.
Keep learning fast, you never know what or who is catching you up.
Have a fantastic career.
