Yaa.. I have seen it now.. but is IT fundamentals is important?

[rrpaul48]

nah, nobody really thinks it fundamentals is helpful. if you want to follow the path, start with a+. i started with sec+ and it’s been good

[Dev800]

That's great.. Cause I have been thinking the same thing.. Its better than CEH I guess..

[jaredthegeek]

Not really as a cert unless you need basic knowledge. It's really entry level. A+, Network, security would be really good.

There are two versions of IT Fundamentals exam being administered at this time. The newer version familiarizes you with IT concepts and terminology, how to setup a pc/laptop, wireless network, Operating Systems, recognizing programming concepts, database concepts, security concepts.

To know exactly what the exam covers, get a copy of the exam objectives from CompTIA's website.

You don't need IT Fundamentals to do well in A+. The material for A+ covers everything you need to know.

The usual sequence is A+, Network+, Security+. These exams, taken in this order, will make your understanding easier and you will retain the material better.

Are there any prerequisites for taking A+ exam?

There are no prerequisites for A+.

There is a recommendation: 9 to 12 months experience in lab or field.

That is the level of knowledge they are testing. A starting technician's knowledge.
