Career switch into IT
-
Hi all,
I have had the thought of making a career switch into IT for a while now. I've started on the A+ course, just finished the Mobile Device section and it seemed okay to understand.
But I haven't been taking any notes, which I'm not really sure what notes to take?Should I continue learning the A+ course or maybe take a step back and look at the ITF+ course?

The best notes to take are on topics based on the exam objectives that can be downloaded here: https://www.comptia.org/certifications/a. You can use it as a check list with the videos and demos to guide your studies! If you need help, please reach out to me or the other Edutainers!

Josh I am also transitioning into IT and working on the A+ Certification. I have been taking alot of notes, probably too many lol.
I am about halfway through the Core1 videos and have taken notes on just about every episode. Id be happy to share them with you. Its a little chaotic but somewhat organized. I feel like a court reporter trying to type and keep up with Mr. Wes Bryan. He has a fast delivery but I feel like I'm learning alot so far.
There are also some free sample test questions you can download from the CompTIA website that may also help you decide what you should and shouldnt take notes on or what you should dive a little deeper into. That approach has kinda help me.
Good Luck!!

OH also I started with the fundamentals + I made it about half way through and decided to just go straight to the A+. It was very basic and just very brief introductions to certain topics or subjects. If you feel somewhat comfortable with the basics of things you could probably skip that or maybe just watch the sections you are not as comfortable in. I really liked the way Ron delivered information and broke things down to laymen terms to understand. I was able to fill the gaps of things I didnt really know anything about and then felt comfortable to start the A+

@John-Bartek if your are still willing I would love to take a look at your notes I'm just starting the A+ course now and I'm still a little confused about what is noteworthy.

@John-Bartek Hi John, thanks for the detailed reply! I would be very grateful to take a peak as your notes to maybe see how you've formatted the? I've decided to go with the ITF+ course for now as when I was doing the A+ and hit networking, I was getting confused on the jargon used.

@wes-bryan Appreciate the response wes! I've really enjoyed the A+ course so far and I'm definitely going to peruse it. But I think the ITF+ course will be great for me at the moment to get a full understanding.
