The initial course is online learning videos & documentation taken from courses for CompTIA A+, Security +, Net +, Configuring Windows 7, Configuring Windows Devices, ITIL & Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices. I have studied with them for a Cyber Security Course. If ITCS are really trying to help anyone pass the course, they should create their own searchable 1800 row spreadsheet, each video and self-test needs to be no more than 45 minutes long, and a chat-room for students to discuss progress should be available on the website. But in the end I decided, you are not meant to pass ever, the tutors couldn't give a shit and I gave up. I produced a 1800 row searchable Excel spreadsheet of facts and definitions that could have speeded up my search. But try to search for an answer to anything in the exam when you only effectively have 50 seconds to answer the multiple choice question. 1000 pages) of PDFs provided to help you learn everything. They won't answer the phone and you'll never meet in person. There is very little help from the course tutors. Then decide for yourself whether the ITCS material is any good to prepare you to pass. You have 5 attempts at completing this extreme high pressure exam.Ĭontrast the self-tests that take up to 2 days, with the actual exam that takes 42 minutes. You have to be very fast, since you are only given 40 minutes to achieve a 70% pass mark. After watching dozens of videos and taking (and repeating) dozens of multiple choice tests, you then sit a 'do or die' multiple choice exam of only 42 questions against the clock.

There is a multiple choice self-test at the end of every video which usually takes a long time to finish (e.g. So there's a huge amount of information to take in. You open a website and are given 200+ videos to watch and make notes from. I enrolled last year (2020) for a £600 ITCS course. However like with any company you will get bad reviews too, but I can assure you we don’t have some kind of magic wand that we are waving taking these down. Lastly, we work extremely hard to get good reviews all of which I can verify as genuine. If anyone is looking to just obtain a CompTIA A+ certification then Simon would be correct in what he says, you are better off going to a different company then ours. We do include the official CompTIA A+ exams, however this alone is not enough to start in one of the positions that we recruit for. It is actually the least important part of our Traineeships, the selection of courses and Labs in step 1 & 2 is what “sells” our candidates to the companies we recruit for. The employers we work with do not hire our candidates just because they have passed the official CompTIA A+ exam.

We are placing candidates into entry level IT Technician/support roles at the end of this training, so this is our way of testing who has actually put the work in and has the required knowledge to start in these roles. Our final exam has a very fair pass mark of 70%, of which we have had candidates passing with as high as 93%. We are also an Authorized CompTIA partner which anyone can verify by calling them. Simon mentions “test after test after test” but what he fails to mention is that these are simply mock/quizzes tests that are there for practice and included in any reputable online course.Īll of our training material is fully accredited and follows the official syllabus. However, after Simons 2nd test result he became abusive to our staff, cancelled his payment plan and requested all of his money back. What would usually happen with our students in this scenario is that they would revise properly, attempt another test and would either pass on their next go, or keep improving until they passed with 70% or over within the allocated 6 attempts. Simon then reattempted the exam 2 weeks later having done minimal revision and again received a mark of 50%.

if candidates fail, we provide them with a full breakdown of their results so that they know which areas they need to revise for on their next attempt. SimonB12 registered with us in November 2018, studied through all the courses in 7 weeks and then requested to sit the final exam, of which he scored 50% (pass mark 70%). I work for IT Career Switch, generally we do not respond to any messages on forums, however SimonB12 has taken it upon himself to slander our company across several forums with unsubstantiated claims, so we feel the need to give a response and an accurate reflection of what has occurred.
