Historical Owl

This is material that is not directly testable by CompTIA and the A+ test, but may either help you 'pull on the thread' so you can see why something is.

Geek Owl

This is material that is too deep for CompTIA and the A+ test. But knowing it will help you put the topic together.

Future Owl

This indicates a topic that should be on your radar screen. CompTIA generally only tests for what are 'commonly accepted' items in the industry. Future OWL tells you about something coming up. You will look good in a job interview and/or should know about something that will be hot tomorrow, sooner rather than later.

Real World Owl

This describes tips for understanding the difference between by the book and the real world out there in IT.

Success OWL

This OWL is an honest presentation of how the computer industry looks to us. You will notice in our logo, Success Owl is setting on a branch with leaves. The gold of the OWL’S feet and the green of the leaves signify the money you can make in this business.

The Branch is you. The branch represents your strength, energy and diligence in achieving your goals. Like any serious players in the computer game, we have to run very fast just to attempt to keep up. Each of the OWL’s feathers is something to learn. No matter how fast you run, you cannot get to the top. (You just fly for more gold.) Further, each Feather learned will become obsolete too quickly for comfort. That is what this industry is about -- IT is in a constant state or refreshment and therefore a lively, never boring chosen field. Finally, once the decision to get on the IT knowledge is entered, there is no getting off. Life long study is mandatory.
