Get them done this year, come 2011 you'll have to repeat them. as they expire. Complete them in 2010 and they're good for life

Ya they're worth doing if you want to work IT support, good topic list, pretty basic if you've done much other stuff, if not then a great place to start, wouldn't worry too much about the repeat/updates on them if you have them done and on your CV that's generally enough, I still use my MCSE's which are waaaay out of date on my CV.

cheers for the reply lads i will give it a bit more consideration to knock them out this year done a few pratice tests all seems handy, some of the leagacy stuff is way old

Ya it need a big over haul if they're still doing the ISA stuff, bout 3-4 years off current standards when I was studying it, mainly though looks good on a cv.
