The First step you should take is to decide which certification to take. If you have no clear directions, hot certifications like Cisco, Microsoft, CompTIA would be safer for future use.
Secondly, you should evaluate your experience. Research the certification requirements to find out what is expected. For example, CompTIA certification suggests that you have months or years of working experience.
Study books are relatively cheap, often come with great practice questions, and are specifically geared towards the exams. Pick a CompTIA certification study guide and use it as your number one study tool.By joining online forums, mailing lists or local user groups, you can associate with others working in information security and learn from their mistakes and examples.It seems that most people self-study for CompTIA certification, however, training classes make sense for certain people in certain situations. If you choose to take classes, this will be the most expensive portion of your certification costs.Online tests are designed for those people who want to take the practice CompTIA certification exam but may not wish to spend a lot of time or money to do so.It is always a good idea to go directly to the website of the CompTIA vendor or sponsor of your certification and see what online sources they may recommend.

Since there is no end for studying, there is no relaxation even after you have got your CompTIA certification. Keep on moving to higher certifications.
If you have just memorized some questions and answers, excepting a fluke, then, don’t take the CompTIA certification exam, until you really have the experience and skills the certification requires.
