Hello,

Im currently enrolled in the JBC apprenticeship which has MTA's as optional in the last two weeks of the course. Though im finding it quite hard to grasp and was wondering if there are some better MTA revision guides then the Microsoft PDFs which are quite light on detail imo.

I am aiming at getting Server, Networking, OS and Security MTA's but it is looking quite daunting now with quite a few questions that I have no clue with.

Also looking round the forum I have noticed that Comptia A+ and Network + are recommended and I would I suspect be looking at self study while working in an entry level IT position.
