I've read through all of Part A of the Skillstrain assignments. I've also been looking at numerous commercial A+ CBT (Computer Based Training) products as well as the Meyer's A+ and N+ books on the subject.

I have to say that I'm a little oncerned about the thoroughness of the Skillstrain course material that I've exposed to up to now. For instance I was re-reading the section on CPUs and the various socket and slots you find on motherboards. This section in the Skillstrain material did not contain any Tutor Marked Assignment questions on which CPU types go with what slot/socket type to reinforce your knowledge, nor did it mention CPU's other than Intel (no AMD for example). I would have expected to see questions on CPU and motherboard slot/socket types such as the following real-world examples:

"Customer A has requested you build a PC based on a AMD Athlon +3400. Below is a list of motherboards and their specifications. Which motherboard is suitable for the customers choice of CPU"

Alas there's nothing at all on this important topic yet the CBTs I've seen as well as most books cover this situation in depth. Surely I should expect more for the £2000 course fee? Or is this topic of CPU and slot/socket types covered again in more detail in later parts of the course? From what I see of the course plan documents in my pack that explain the various parts of the course, it doesn't seem so.
