Foundation for Any Tech Career

Some things never change. Today Hodson has an Xbox One sitting next to him in his home office. It’s a more sophisticated machine than the CPC 464, but it fulfils the same need for the still-ardent gamer.

Likewise, while today’s networks and computers – never mind smartphones and tablets – might have been unfathomable a few decades ago, enterprise technology is built around the same basic architecture as its antecedents.

And so even as Hodson is always engaging, explaining and telling the story of the granular complexity of the new tech world (and even publishing a book on it; his forthcoming Cyber Risk Management) he still sees those CompTIA A+-level basics as the foundation of it all.

"If you haven't had that grounding in how computers work, that's really where you need to start. Understanding a computer, understanding the constituent parts, understanding the software on a foundational level – having that breadth is important," Hodson said. "[Whether someone wants to pursue] cybersecurity, database engineering, forensics or application coding, I think CompTIA A+ is a good place to start.”
