You went through the same experience I did in FAS but as with anything, you get out what you put in and I was pretty happy with my time there. Which centre were you in? (you can PM if you don't want to say publicly).

I see the A+ as a way of getting in to IT whereas if you're already in for ~1 year then there's probably no need to sit it.

Depends on what the experience is. If its 1+ year in a helpdesk and your applying for a desktop support role, better pick up a book since its a good cert to have.
