    Having A+ and N+ is defiantly a good start for the basics. You could also look at Microsoft’s MTA or Cisco’s networking essentials the maybe CCNA. It all depends on where you want to go from here.


    Always try and research the company you want to work for. Find out things like the hardware and systems they use. Dont be afraid to call them up before applying and ask questions. Most are more than happy to help. Whichever path you take I wish you the best of luck.

    Be careful getting too many certs. If you end up with loads of certs and little experience, it can work against you.

    You should try to get a low level IT support job and gradually do some certs as you gain experience.
