Hi I'm a newbie,

I'm trying to find out the best way to do the A+ course, either college, home study etc. I am dyslexsic and have trouble spelling but my reading is good. I nearly got ripped off by a salesman from the Home Learning college but I've managed to stop it. Any help would be very grateful where to get books and which ones, where the best courses are etc. Many Thanks

Leelee

Hi Welcome to CF

You do not really have to do a course for the A+, you could self study by just getting the books and reading the material until you are ready to take the exams.

If dyslexia is more of a problem when it comes to writing for you and your reading isn't then I would say self study would be ideal for you. If you get stuck you can always post on here and we can try and help you.

If you are interested in self study have a look for two books, one is compTIA A+ all in one exam guide by Mike Myeres and PC Technician street smarts by James Pyles. If you can afford to have a look for an old PC you can take apart and put back together as this will help in the learning process.

 

Courses for A+? No.

I would suggest you grab a copy of the Mike Meyers - A+ All In One, 6th Edition. Amazon usually has the best prices for it from my experience. Read it cover to cover and see how you get on. It comes with a CD with practice tests etc on, which I found were spot on, see how you get on!
