Reasons why skipping the CompTIA A+ makes sense
While I do train students on CompTIA A+ material, and in fact require the training before they get into networking, I have been advising students to skip the CompTIA A+ certification exam and jump straight to the Network+ exam if they are pursuing a certification. There are several reasons why.
Reason #1: CompTIA A+ requires two exams, while Network+ and Security+ only require one. The A+ covers a lot of material and requires you to take two exams, which most people sit for on different days, often a week or more apart. This two exam approach requires a lot more study and preparation and therefore delays when you can actually say that you’re certified. One test certifications are the best option for entry level certification seekers because they are more manageable and provide the positive reinforcement of an early victory that much sooner. And because it’s advisable to also be looking for internship or entry level opportunities while you’re pursuing your certifications and education, it’s that much sooner that the certification will be on your resume.
