Hello again, Does anyone have any info about COM research?
I’ll tell you abit of my background so you can understand why I want to get into COM research.
After High school (2000) I didn’t know what I wanted to do with life. I didn’t really have the grades for University and I was really interested in computers.
I attended a private college called North West Digital and it specialized in their Network Integration Specialist program but it was a lot of money. My friend and I did some research and found out that BCIT used the same course from NWD and the same inductors (NWD instructors) NWD was $1000 more than BCIT but BCIT had bigger classes and not enough “in class†time. So I went with NWD.
Through them I got my A+ (computer hardware cert) N+ (Network cert) MCP (Microsoft Certified professional) MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator cert) and 1 test away from my MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer cert) also took my CCNA course but still haven’t taken the test to be CCNA (Cisco Certified Network *** ).
As you can see, I want to get into Computer Networking and Computer Network security.
Right now the IT market sucks in BC and a young 20 year old cannot find a job (even at Future shop which I’m way over certified for). I’ve always liked the Military life style so I did some heavy thinking. The Canadian forces would be the best option for me right now in my life.
Anyhow.. I did some reading on the internet and found that COM Research is what I want to do. COM Research has different jobs in it and Computer Network Administrator and Computer Network Security is two of them. I asked the recruiter of I have a background in Computer Networking already wouldn’t the army work me towards that? He said no and they move you around the different fields. I looked harder and realized that Computer Networking is a specialized course that you have to do more schooling for.
10 weeks BMQ
30 week COM Research (which doesn’t include computer networking)
So what I’ am trying to say here is.. Since I already have this “Specialized course†(which will probley help me get into the army) after I do BMQ and Com Research course wouldn’t they set me up towards being an Admin or Security admin or train me a bit more since I already have more knowledge over someone whos never taken the course?
