Hi,

I'm totally new here and to IT. I joined to try and get more of an idea of what courses I should do.

I'm thinking about A+ and MCDST and was thinking about doing it with computeach. So far I have been impressed with them, it's fairly pricey (£1600) for access to all the online study materials incl. tutor support for 1 year but I have read some bad reviews about them. To be fair it sounded like the people complaining just wanted a refund for whatever reason - I'm not really sure.

Anyway, that's the plan. It's nice to be here as there seems to be lots of advice from people who are certified. All and any advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Matt

 

Hello & welcome to CF.

 

Jim and Ken,

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. I've put the Computeach on the back-burner for now and will try the self-study route. I've heard too many negative remarks about training companies to risk spending that kind of money.

I was wondering if you know which is the most up-to-date study guide to the A+? I found the A+ Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (6th Edition) by Mike Meyers on Amazon for around £20. It comes highly recommended.

Sorry if I'm repeating already answered questions - I figured I would ask while I'm thanking people for their help.

Thanks again!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

IF you take a look in the A+ forum, there should be a thread outlining various resources you can use.
