Do you find yourself preparing for several certifications this summer and starting to feel overwhelmed?
Well I have a resource that will be a good study guide for you to use for your CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and CompTIA Security+ information technology exams. If you have access to the internet you can study anywhere at anytime with Professor Messer. He has been training IT professionals for almost a decade, and I know his tools really do work because my colleagues and I found success using them. Professor Messer is here to relieve your testing stressors.
This resource isn't enough to get you through your exams alone, but with the guidance of your teachers at Nevada Technology Academy and some self-discipline you will succeed. Professor Messer posts videos and tutorials for free on YouTube in addition to resources for sale on his website. Investing in your future is essential when entering a technical field.
Have you completed one or more of these courses and haven’t certified yet? Professor Messer’s study materials are an effective way to brush up on the topics you may have forgotten. Let’s be honest, in an accelerated program it is hard to retain information when you learn so much each day.
These certifications may seem stressful and annoying right now, and yes you can get a job without them, but it won’t be as easy and you probably won’t get the salary you want. If you have taken these courses and passed then you know that you are responsible for keeping your certifications valid by paying fees, taking harder certifications, and earning Continuing Education Credits (CEU). Professor Messer hosts a virtual study group once a month on YouTube for each of the courses listed above. Participating in this study session will grant you 1 CEU valid with CompTIA in the webinar category for attending.
Resources are all around you, but you have to be willing to look for them and participate.
Do a practice test at least once a week for your own benefit. Even if you have completed this coursework it is very easy to forget the basics. If you can understand the basics you have a sturdy foundation for your future IT career. I hope this was helpful, and leave a comment below if you have a resource you would like to share. Let us know what you're doing to prepare for your CompTIA certifications this summer.
Nevada Technology Academy employs teachers with professional experience to help you succeed in your new career path by passing CompTIA certifications.

To do our part the community has "stayed home for Nevada", but it’s the middle of summer! Summertime in Reno, Nevada invites us outside with sandy beaches at Lake Tahoe, painted desert hills laden with exciting new adventures, and the comforts found at neighborhood parks. As fun as it is enjoying the activities of summer: the campfires, the swimming pools, and everlasting swatting at mosquitoes, it doesn’t last forever. Before you realize it, grocery stores will be packed to the gills with pens, pencils, and paper products preparing students for the upcoming semester. Maybe, that new student should be you?

The Information Technology world has exploded over the last 10 years. Computers are incorporated into everything we do in society at this point, but something that has been forgotten in this progressive advance in technology; the human factor. Even though most of our interactions use a screen and as intermediary we all need to remember that there is a person with thoughts, feelings, and opinions on the other side of the screen. Although Rishma works as the Director of IT in the City of Reno, her message to us was so much more important than talking about the daily ins and outs of her job. She elaborated on the importance of empathy. Oftentimes the definitions of sympathy and empathy are used synonymously, and that is not correct. Sympathy is feeling for someone and empathy is feeling with someone. Using active listening skills, and truly absorbing other’s emotions to connect with them at that moment shows empathy. To be able to reach something deep inside yourself to feel what others feel will help your relationships in work and personal lives. Bridging the gap between substituted emotions using digital communication with human emotions attached to the other end of the keyboard will ease the tension created by lack of physical cues, micro gestures, and tone in text. She also explained how we can add empathy to our digital world. Features essential to creating an empathetic model include accessibility, credibility, usability, findability, usefulness, and desirability. Combining these ingredients is a recipe for success! Empathy in technology is synonymous to “customer service”. All businesses have customers, even the City of Reno, and they want a human experience. Creating an empathetic attitude to truly understand the customer needs in any business, but especially IT, will make the world you live in a better place. Empathy is especially important for IT because more and more jobs are becoming remote, or telecommute. Which is convenient for those of us hermit types, but ultimately losing face to face contact with peers and clients can definitely impact your success. In conclusion, always remember the Golden Rule: treat others how you want to be treated. Even if someone treats you badly treat them with kindness and try to empathize with them. We all walk our own path, and you don’t know what someone else is going through unless you ask. Compassion and empathy need to be remembered as we incorporate the human element back into digital society.
