If you really want to study and pass the examination with flying colours, then you need to understand the costs involved. You will have to allocate a fixed amount for every question and the expenses will be a large part of your study budget. You cannot afford to leave any question out and then expect to ace the examination. In the Philippines the study material costs a lot less than here in the west.
Studying in your own home is extremely convenient and you can fit the study time around your daily schedule. The question costs are variable but this is usually around thirty dollars per question, depending on the length of the course. In comparison, some of the exams we usually take in the United States can cost in the region of one hundred dollars. To give you a rough idea, this can equate to studying for two semesters worth of study in the United States.
Another disadvantage of this system is the fact that if you need to take the exam more than once, you will have to pay for the study time from the same institution. There are some institutions that will allow you to buy more study books. These are generally more expensive than regular books but you can often find good deals through internet. Study guides are another important part of your course. There are different versions of study guides and you will want to choose one that best suits your needs. This way you can learn the material at your own pace.
The last disadvantage of studying in your home is the time management. You will be very busy and you might find it hard to study on your own. This is especially true if you do not live near any university. You might have to take the exam quite often if you are planning to take it more than once.
Before taking the exam, you should also consider the costs involved with travel. This depends on where you study at because some universities in the Philippines offer reduced rates for students from low income families. If you plan to go to the Philippines, check first how much it would cost to take the Comptia exam. Remember that the fees for these exams are increasing every year so it is better to know the prices ahead of time.
The costs for the course also vary according to the level of difficulty. It is quite easy for an average person to get a certification after only one week of study. However, an IT professional or a high school student will have to work his way up through the difficult parts of the course. It is good to see the actual costs for the different levels of difficulty because some IT companies might refuse to train someone if he cannot pass the exam in a few sessions.
The good news is that most people who want to study for the CNA license will get a full refund when they will find out that they are indeed qualified for the exam. Some studies also offer a free demo days before the actual exam day. This is also a great way to save money for exam study because you will get to take the exam immediately after your registration. With all these tips, I am sure that you can budget your money for the study in the Philippines without having problems.
