You only really need the Mike Myers book which is £20 from amazon. Then you pay around £100 for each exam.. just over £200 and you have the A+ in the bag

I was looking at ICS site earlier just to see their prices, £500 for the A+ without exam costs included, so £700? Crazy..

another recommendation for home taught, saves you a few quid and you get to do it in your own time

I'd agree that home study would be a better idea, Grab the Mike Meyers All in one A+ 2006 book and have a read, see what you think!

Good luck with whatever you choose!

 

Another vote for self-study... all my certs were gained through self-study and on-the-job experience, so it's quite possible to do!

 

Self study all the way for me but if you know that you can't push yourself to study or find that you just can't get stuck into a textbook then perhaps a course might be for you but ultimately you are paying for someone to teach you info that you can learn and find for yourself.
