Sorry but theres no category for this topic


My question is what is the cheapest way to get A+ Certitfied?

take it at a community college. or work for a company that allows you to take it for free in order to forward your 'career' with them.

A+ Certification is worthless unless you want to make $15/hr in a repair shop or you want to teach it in a high school.

yeah its worthless, but its something you can put on your resume.

True enough. If you can get it free great, but its not worth the $290 or whatever CompTIA charges these days.

agree^^ lol

I'm only 18 years old and I own my own business. Its a partnership structured business that's been going on for over 2 years. I need to be certified just for show. Plus $15 an hour doesn't sound bad to me.

Ive searched google for A+ vouchers and all I can find is like $20 off original price.

Another question i would appreciate you guys help me on is what certification should i get?

CompTIA A+ 220-602
This is a certification for IT Technician. It targets those who work in mobile or corporate technical environment with a high level of face-to-face interaction. Job roles include IT admin, enterprise technician, field service technician, and PC support technician.

CompTIA A+ 220-603
For remote support technician. This is for individuals who intend to work in remote based work environment. Job roles include help desk technician, remote support technician, and call center technician.

CompTIA A+ 220-604
This is for depot technician. This targets those where their job has an emphasis on hardware. Job roles are bench technician and depot technician.

I think I should get the CompTIA A+ 220-604 but i think it might not even matter since all of them make you A+.

If you don't get an A+ and get a D, you can still work at radio shack or the electronics dept. of walmart as an expert.

I would also consider going to college and getting a degree. The certification is great as well, but where I'm working at, when I was interviewed, my bosses liked the fact that I had a degree. Though I had little professional experience, I had a 4 year degree, and what my boss told me was that most guys when they start college know that what they will learn is obsolete by the time they get out, but liked the fact that it showed I would be dedicated. I am loving my job. Been there about 6 months, it's wonderful. Something to consider as well, but like some 2 year technical colleges will try to get you certified before you leave.

Another one to have may be Apple certification, at least later on. Probably not many people have that, and it would give you an edge. I actually possess that certification, and not bad to get, I think I had to take 2 tests at like 150 each or something? Can't remember, but my work paid for the first attempts, thankfully I passed them both on the first try. But the exams were all multiple choice.

Wal-mart has experts? You don't say rc.

lol...not REAL experts, just people that really really tech illiterate people THINK know something...lmao.

I heard a guy ask the difference between the -r and +r standards once and the kid said +r was better because it was newer ! rofl.

Nice. Ask them what is the difference between front side bus and a on-die memory controller.

If your a student, the Microsoft Exams are around $70. They're good certs since most companies run on Microsoft software and there's lots of study material for them

Actually, didn't MS just bring out a new certification? Or am I the only one that read that?

What's so worthless about it? It's a certification and it'll look good on a resume and in the eyes of a customer.
