In recent years, IT certification attracts more and more public attention, many friend in the circle have the intention to take the exams. But many examinees have little knowledge on basic questions, such as registration, examinations and training. This article is written out of the most popular and typical questions among the previous large number of consultations. With a detailed explanation of those issues which candidates care most, it shows the whole frame of IT certification. For the reason that currently more than half of authenticating examinations come from CompTIA authenticating examination, and other IT authenticating examinations are similar to each other, so the following article took CompTIA N10-004 examination as an example.
1. Enrollment articles. Many friends have asked us by letters a variety of IT certification exams where the registration, several times one year to test , what time to test. As for the CompTIA Network+ Exam, you can attend it at any time, which is depended by your choice. Why? Now, let’s begin with the frame of the IT Certification Exam. We often say that CompTIA certification is undoubtedly a qualification CompTIA company giving to the technical staff, but the certification exam is not under the auspices of the company itself, the company entrust their certification exams to the companies specializing in the examination, such as Sylvan, VUE and so on. They have exam centers in more than 100 countries all over the world, which connected by network and exam results can be transmitted in no time to the database of entrusted exam companies. Because the cost is rather low for an IT company’s entrusting it examinations, almost all the IT authenticating examinations are entrusted to Sylvan and VUE which at the same time also act as agents for GRE and TOEFL which we are familiar with.
The examination time can be determined at will, because theoretically the exam center can hold exams every day. The process of N10-004 exam is probably like this, first you go to test center to register and make an appointment time you want to take test. On the examination day, the examination center will download all the test questions for all the examinees including you. The only thing you need to do is to choose your own test paper and finish it. As there are much fewer examinees in some places, the exam center will pick out 2 days in a week as exam days to gather the examinees. As a result, you have to refer to the exam center for the exact exam time.
2.Training.Many friends concern if they have to take part into the training before the exam of certificate. Here we can clearly give you an answer, there is no relationship between training and the N10-004 exam. Even a person without any technical background can enroll in certification exams; of course, he will not pass the test definitely. 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.
As both kinds of organizations could apply, the training centers have also applied for becoming exam centers. Perhaps you think your a poor foundation, it should be on the training. But you have to keep in mind that the current IT certification training is to strengthen the teaching, that only a few days training is impossible to become master of a rookie.
