A+ CERTIFICATION COURSE

After a comma there's normally a space before the start of another word.

And caps aren't cool.

It is a recognised qualification, what are you trying to get into?
 
I've done this one
It's a half decent qualification for entry level professionals, teaches you quite a bit about a varied subject matter, though strangely a lot on outdated technologies
 
Thanks for the grammar lesson.
I have a fair knowledge of building and troubleshooting PC,s and would like to expand this.
It seems a good idea to have a qualification for anything nowadays as you never know what is around the corner!!

As a Comptia A+ tutor, I can agree that last years A+ was horribly outdated, but we got a new syllabus in August 07 and its now much more upto date and relevant.

A very good and valuable qual.
 
Try to find somewhere that offers the course via the Cisco Networking Academy (its all online) but thats gives you a nice structure and breaks it down into nice manageable chunks each of which is assessed.

http://cisco.netacad.net Try to find one close to you so that you can call in for lab support etc etc. You need one that offers the IT Essentials 1 course, this will prepare you for the A+ exams.
 
I'm going to try doing this course as well, but at college, one night per week. It's not a long course it seems.
 
I'kk warn you now, if you have a full time job...Going home and doing even more learning can be.."difficult" shall we say.

I started the A+ a few years ago now, and had to restart it because they released a new sillabus, and even that had old tech, and some newer tech's wern't even in there that I had been working on for the past year or so.

Best bet, is to either get an introduction from a tutor or something...Get a better look at the course :)

a lot of companys do wish for employees to have atleast an A+, but obviously it's not always essential, depending on your own knowledge.
 
Its a useless qualification IMO, not worth the paper it is written on.

I certainly didn't need it (but have it) to start a career in IT.
 
I have to agree with paradigm. None of my qualifications assisted my entry into the IT industry. I know this doesn’t apply to everyone but experience and knowledge appears to be valued greater than a piece of paper… But perhaps I was just lucky.

Regarding distance learning... speaking from experience and as a teacher, you must be disciplined and be able to manage time appropriately. It can be all to easy to put things off and become distracted, especially if studying at home. However, everyone learns differently and thus you may find this to be the perfect course and learning method! If you do have a full time job though, be careful you don’t take on too much :)

I just wasted 5 seconds of my life reading your pointless post. :rolleyes:

Next time please use " are not " instead of " aren't" ;)
 
When i took my A+ a few years back, i just took out a copy of 'A+ for dummies' from the local library, read that, and took the exam, piece of cake :D

Doesn't look possible to do that with the new syllabus though, there's stuff in there that's actually relevant now :eek:
