I was looking at tech support jobs ??
CompTIA A+ Course
It says I need these certifications
Anyone know anything about this. I dont
Thanks
Also seems the pay is like 20 bucks an hour lol
CompTIA A+ is a basic knowledge cert.
Says you can answer basic questions about hardware and software. Says nothing about actual skills or ability.
If you have basic computer skills with Windows or Linux you should be able to get the cert in a couple of weeks with the practice tests from Boson.
You don't say what kind of support this is. Phone or desktop.
You don't mention age or experience level.
I'd guess, based on the type of cert we're discussing, you are fairly new to the program as it were.
Generally, in most organizations, L1 support is the stepping stone into more skilled and higher paid roles. Generally we speak of L1,2,3 with each progression more specialized and having more responsibilities.
If you're new, get the cert but then work on one of two areas
App Development
Cyber
If you're going to do cyber you'll need to branch out into every skill in the field. I hear lots of people griping about getting their big bad cyber degrees but being unable to get the big cyber jobs.
Cyber degree qualifies you to be a hacker. white or black hat but still just a hacker. Useful to me in pen and code testing but beyond that, pretty worthless. They're trainable if their heads aren't too big.
Good luck.
