    Yeah did it a couple of years ago, its a good course and I definitely learned a lot from it. Its a very good course to do if you want to do PC repair or indeed build your own machine.

    It's a good course, and the CompTIA brand is well known.

    Personally, when doing the exam I found doing the two parts separately to be better, as you can do a last minute revision in the break between the hardware and software exams (rather than doing one big software+hardware exam).

    A+ is a very good basis for an IT Hardware Technician, I did it many years ago and though at the time it covered the likes of serial and parrallel ports I thought I'd never need that crap.
    Lo and behold many companies were still tied to that sort of thing so it was really good to know.

    It's a great foundation.

    Also think of it like this, if ten people apply for a job, all evenly matched, but only you and 3 others have A+ as well, then you 4 will be the ones shortlisted.
