    Hello everyone :D

    I'm currently returning to IT training with Computeach(good choice?) eventually,hopefully leading to a MCSE qualification at the moment i'm studying slowly towards my A+ exams just using the Computeach study material, is there anything better out there?,i currently live in the far north of Shetland with my wife and daughter working for a small ferry company after fifteen years in the merchant navy.Any help or advice anyone could pass on would be greatly recieved.

    best regards

    Andy

    Just wanted to say welcome and hello and I'm sure someone with some advice will be along shortly.

    Hi and Welcome Andy :)

    Have a nose around the A+ forum - there's already a wealth of advice on there about free resources that others have posted about. I would definitely suggest supplementing your existing materials with the Cramsessions guide (free at the mo, I believe). They are a great asset towards the end of your studies.

    HTH :)

    Hi Andy, I've recently taken up the MCSE: Security course with Computeach, I'm currently doing the short IT fundamentals course which you probably had to do to before going on to the A+.

    As for Computeach being a good choice, I'm happy with them so far, their course materials are good. The onyl thing I don't like is their student website, it's a quite pants and the forums are a bit on the rubbish side. Their forum and chat also goes too far with the 'censoring' of swearwords. You can't say bloody, it just appears as ---- and you can't say bugger or arse, which is a pain for programmers in the chat when they mention debugger and parse!

    Hi Andy, welcome to CF.

    As you have already been advised take a look around the A+ Forum, and Mike Myers is definately the man for A+ stuff.

    Greetings, Andy. Welcome to CertForums. Glad you made it here, mate. If you haven't already, check out the A+ and Microsoft forums here as well as the Training forum. They all contain good information and chances are that a lot of your questions have already been answered. Also, don't forget to check out our articles section. Lots of good technical tidbits to be found there. Cheers. :)
