Our advisors are often asked about the differences between the BTEC Award in Computer Engineering and the CompTIA A+ certification. What is the difference between the BTEC Award in Computer Engineering and the CompTIA A+? The BTEC qualification focuses primarily on the practical techniques of installing and configuring hardware & software. The CompTIA A+ goes much more in-depth with regards to the theoretical aspects of the components and software but is less practically focused. Which is the best qualification? Both have their strengths, ideally obtaining both qualifications would ensure a well rounded knowledge of the theoretical aspects of computing and a good practical background. The A+ is a certification developed by the IT industry whilst as an academic qualification the BTEC can add to points used towards the entry of higher education. For a limited time we are offering the Complete CompTIA A+ study guide from Sybex free with all BTEC enrolments. This edition also includes a bonus CD-ROM with electronic flash cards and over 600 practice questions for the A+ 2009 certification track, exams 220-701 (Essentials) and 220-702 (Practical Application). Which course should I complete first? We recommend completing the National BTEC Award in Computer Engineering before moving on to the A+, the practical aspects of the course will help you to visualise some of the key theoretical aspects of the A +. By completing the BTEC first you will have obtained a recognised IT qualification allowing you to proceed with job applications etc, whilst awaiting your A+. Will my tutor be available for both courses? Yes, your tutor will be there to help in every aspect of both courses. Your tutor support is essentially unlimited IT Support for life! Enroling now gives the opportunity to achieve two valuable qualifications for a single low price. Further information about the A+ can be found at http://certification.comptia.org/a/
