Just left my current gig for another job making$20/h. The A+ and one year job exp gave me a leg up to get it.

It shows that you have a vested interest in learning as much as possible. Employers like to see you learning in your spare time.



My last job, the A+ helped me because it was a mixture of help desk/ desktop support/ taking about PCs/ and working with old ass XP machines (hospitals don't upgrade often :scusthov:)

But this is still good advice, I would also recommend learning how to Troubleshoot VPNs as well.

You could get the A+ and move on to higher certs after. My last boss didn't give a damn about my A+ :yeshrug:

My new boss asked me when I was getting more :wow:


Yeah I'm trying to learn VPN troubleshooting also and yeah I agree statements

I didn't want to try to rush through this just to save a few bucks so I told them my student loans were a burden and got the course for free. They're still offering full financial assistance through Feb. 20 if you haven't registered yet.
