Hi,

Never done or looked into the A+ courses myself, but that seems a considerable price drop.

I still don't think i'd want to pay that much though. If you're the sort of person who can sit down and learn from a book i'd highly recommend spending a few quid on the Mike Meyers A+ book and just working through it that way. It will cost an awful lot less!

iv got the meyers book & pc Tech street smarts but i found it a little hard to work from just those books

im not too clued up on how these courses work would it be the same as just reading from a book or do you have coursework etc to do?

cheers

 

It would depend on the quality of the course. Some would give you inferior books and expect you to read them. Others would have some class time and perhaps hands on experience.

These place will charge you cash give you some books and tell you to read them and they may offer some sort of support, some may hold classes.

I would say both prices are rediqulous, you have the most recommended books for the A+ just keep going over the concepts untill you understand them, if you need help you can ask on here.

Buy an old PC from a junk shop or recycling centre so you can practice taking it to bits and putting back together and use the cash you were going to spend on some course on a couple of upgrades for the old pc like an expansion card or dvd re-writer or hard drive so you can practice.

 

I did Cisco IT Essentials 1 + Self studying + CompTIA A+ exam fees + 2 A+ Books all for under £400 @ a local College.
£995 seems a lot to pay for getting A+ when their are cheaper methods out their.
Why the reduction? May be a way to sucker you in to signing up quicker!!

Who's the company offering the course?

 

That's about 995 more than you should be paying.

Learn how to self-study now. Companies aren't going to pay for you to take a training course every time they want you to learn about new technologies.

 

Quoted for Truth...
To be successful in this industry (as many other professions), self-study is a must.

The A+ is usually considered an easier cert to start with. Try the self-study, if it doen't work, you can spend the money later (TP's won't mind)

 

Its classic sales, make em think they are getting a discount and they will sign up. No doubt the 'offer' ends tomorrow so you have to sign up now or miss out...
