what are the job oppourtunity after enrolling Security+,A+ and also N+ ?
Hi Anup,
That is a great question, however it’s not that easy to answer. There is a wide variety of job opportunities for CompTIA certified individuals, but mainly these certs are a good way to get started in the IT field and get a solid foundation that you’ll need to succeed in the IT world.
CompTIA A+
With the A+ certification you will be able to apply for jobs as a computer technician, technical support representative, help desk specialist, printer repair technician and other similar opportunities. Some companies, like CompuCom and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification mandatory for their service technicians.
Here’s some more info on the A+ certification: /comptia-a-plus-2009/2009-11-16/
CompTIA Network+
The Network+ certification opens up even more job opportunities allowing you to work as a network administrator (usually at the jr level), network engineer, network technician, and other similar positions. Also, keep in mind that Microsoft, Novell, Cisco and HP also recognize CompTIA Network+ as part of their certification tracks.

CompTIA Security+
The Security+ certification allows you to apply for many of the jobs that require a security clearance; you’ll be able to work as a security analyst, security specialist, network security engineer and more. Many companies including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Motorola, Symantec, as well as the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines employ Security+ certified individuals.

My final suggestion before you sign up for any certification would be to search sites like simplyhired.com, indeed.com or others and see what the job ads list as requirements. Search for positions that interest you in your local area and see what would make the most sense for you.
The CompTIA A+ certifications are a great way to get started in the IT field but there are many certification options out there — keep this in mind, ok? And let me know if you need any help with anything.
Happy Training!
