Y'all think $500 is too much for an instructor led A+ training course :patrice:?

I think thats a reasonable price depending on if it covers exactly what's going to be on the exam. I have been studying for the A+ for a lil over a month and feel like im learning alot, but since im using free youtube course videos im not so sure what to expect.

I'm assuming you're asking on someone else's behalf and not trolling us mere mortal 1-2 cert dudes...

If it jump starts dude's studying and\or career in IT then why not? If there's as much money at stake as y'all been saying (for years)? $500 is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Pretty cheap really. Especially when you think about where that knowledge can lead someone.

shyt , these damn training companies keep sending me magazine with stuff like " Learn X language in 5 days for $1,800". Now I understand they want companies to pay for it, but stuff like that is a ripoff .

Naw I'm serious. What lab do you need for the a+ class?

CompTIA A+ Training - 1 Year

I bought this lab which was required for the A+ courses that I had completed three years ago. This is all you need to be prepared for the exam. It comes with training sessions, hands-on-lab simulation, study materials, test questions, and practice exams. You get all this for $349.00 for one year. That's all you need to be prepared for the A+ exam. It's worth the money. I bought a few more labs with my school voucher--Security+, Configuring Window 7, and Network+-- to keep my skills sharped. Whenever I need to figure out some issues or need to configure a setting on the operating system, I Iogin to my Testout account.

the simulations are probably for the command line questions and they also throw in PC builds in the exam too. In my honest opinion if you're going to take a course on anything do it for the cisco or windows pieces. The comptia A+ you should be good with self study
