So... Anyone have any experience completing an A+ Certification?
Just got turned down for a job I applied for, and my lack of that in particular is the only reason I can see why. (Though I'm told it shows absolutely nothing in the way of actual real-world knowledge/application.)
I did the practice test once and it asked some ridiculous questions, so I'd like to know if anyone who has done it can fill me in on what it will ask beyond the practice version.
They offer study guides on Amazon, in about the $30 range, but I don't want to waste my money if I ultimately won't need it. (Then again, $30 is no big deal if it means I won't be wasting a few hundred by failing the test.)
I have a few friends that are A+ certified. the majority of them just searched for a bunch of online practice tests and studied off those. some took a week long course to get it. supposedly its not "that" hard of a test if you're tech savvy and know your computer stuff.
you can search for local business trainers in your area that specialize in helping people getting different certifications or do one of those online self paced courses.
