All you should know over CompTIA (1)

In recent years, IT certification receives more and more public attention, and many industry friends have a plan for certification test. But many candidates are not familiar with the most basic problems such as registration, examinations, training, etc. According to the most frequently asked and typical questions consulted before, we have composed the article in which we have clearly answered the questions examinees are concerned about most. This would show a clear picture of something about IT certificates for everybody. As more than half of the certificates are CompTIA certificates and meanwhile the other certificates are similar only except for some slight differences, we will take CompTIA SY0-201 exam for example below.

First, registration. Many friends ask where to register, how many times will be held in a year and when to take the exam in their letters. As for CompTIA Security+ certificate exam, we can tell you that it is up to you when to sit for the exam. Why? Then we have to touch on the structure of the IT certificate exam first. There's no doubt that the CompTIA certification we usually talk about is a sort of qualification that CompTIA company demands for the technicians. However, the exams are not held by the company itself, but by those entrusted ones specializing in organizing exams, such as Sylvan, VUE, etc. These companies have test centers in more than 100 countries in the world, these centers are also connected through the network, the daily test results can be quickly sent to the commissioned company鈥檚 exam database. As for the IT enterprises, the exam commission cost is very low, so almost all IT certification are entrusted to the Sylvan and VUE agent, while the two companies are also agents, such as GRE, TOEFL, with which we are more familiar.

Exam time is free to decide, because in the theory examination centers can test every day. SY0-201 exam process something like this, first you go to test center to register and make an appointment time. On the examination day, the exam center will load the exam questions for all the candidates including taking the exam, and it is enough to choose your exam questions. However, in some places due to fewer candidates, the examination center will choose two days in a week as the examination time to concentrate the candidates, so you need to consult the specific examination time from test center.

2.Training chapter. Must participate in training to be eligible to have certification exam, it is issues that many friends concern. Here you can get the clear reply, training and SY0-201 exam have nothing related. Even if a person without any technology background can register the certification exam, of course, he can not pass the exam. Just as we have talked above, Sylvan exam center is a company proxy tests around the world, while training center is grant certification training center from IT enterprises. Since the two institutions both take the form of joining in by application, many training centers also applied to be the examination center at the same time for convenience.

Maybe you think your base is not very well, and you should take training course. But you should remember, the present IT certification exam are strenghthen the teaching, just take a few days training, a rookie can become a master is impossible. Because they have to finish CompTIA Security+ classbooks with thickness of hundreds of pages in several days, about 200 pages each day averagely. Therefore, if you can at least once look through the teaching material with some background, it is easy to imagine how the training result will go. Training Center is also a commercial organization; its operation is market-oriented, which is both good and bad. Therefore, we can not just look at the adoption rate when choosing the training center, having real improvement is the most important.
