So I made this thread not long ago and from that I’ve decided to start studying for IT certifications. To cut a long story short I found compTIA to be the most talked about certs for getting a career in IT started, but I found that it was mostly Americans talking about them on YT and Reddit.

I’m from Northern Ireland and I’m wondering if this qualification will actually help me in getting my foot in the door, I done a job search for the likes of help desk as I assume that’s the kind of job I would be starting in, and I couldn’t find any that was looking compTIA qualifications, they all just wanted previous experience and/or an honours degree.

If anyone who is from NI or UK that knows anything about this or has experience in this, your help would be much appreciated.
 
I’m not expecting to walk in to my dream job straight away, I know this is going to take a lot of work, I just want to make sure I’m on the right path but I understand what you mean about none being specific to a tailor made role.

To answer your question @Screeeech i don’t know yet, in a perfect world i would be focusing on the hardware aspect of computing, but I know it isn’t that straightforward. I am also hoping that the more I dive into this and learn, maybe I will find the field that I would like to specialise in.

Ill look into this Microsoft cert later tonight.
