What are everyones thoughts on these?
I always wanted to get the A+ and Net+ for nothing more than my own goals. I took the a+ class and was surprised and how in depth it really is. All I keep hearing from everyone is how easy it is, but I feel like 10years ago it was a walk in the park. It's about network ports, IP address, TCP/IP, UDP, Public/Private IP address ranges, which cat cable can travel X distance at X speed and fucking laser printers. The damn laser printer questions fuck me every time. Whoever invented the 90230943 steps to laser printing paper is an asshole.
In the class they also claim the 'average' salary for someone with a A+ is $72k/year. lol wtf...no
The A+ is broken up into 2 tests. 901 and 902. 901 being all hardware and 902 being all OS. The class was 4 days of 901 stuff and 1 day of 902. I have to score an 80% on the practice test before I am allowed to take the actual test. So still working on that.
What do you guys think of these? Have they gotten harder over the years? Think they are even worth it? Any other ones worth looking into? I don't get paid any more for certs but I want to learn more and these are just personal goals.
