Questions bruhs would it be better to take the 801-802 before it expires in June or should I just focus on the 901-902 instead?

How did it go and what are you doing now?
Bored than muhhhfuhhcka. Same shyt i was doing at my previous job(service desk) except there's not much to learn this time around.

Saw the BADDEST arabial/ethiopian chick in my orientation class yesterday but we were at different tables :mjcry: so i didn't get a chance to meet her

For the job itself, i cant see me staying long term cause there's no challenge

This is for the A+ right? It depends on how fast you think you can get through the material. Your experience level is also a factor. For someone who is not completely new to I.T. or technology, I'd imagine a few months of study should suffice.

Yea I'm actually going into my last semester of getting my AS in CS, and wanted to then go in the direction of getting certifications in the Web and Mobile field.

Was bored of not working, thought it would be more exciting tbh and have unilimited OT since the hospital/desk is 24/7. Women are EVERYWHERE but i didn't know i'd be cooped up in an open office(not cubicle) type environment with 3 older ladies(40-50s):beli:

Im just about to stack for a lil bit, get this Powershell/CCNA cracking and then see what comes about

Has anyone taken ITIL courses/exams past Foundations? I see my job moving into Service Desk Management in the near future and I'm trying to jump the curve.

Yeah, I have the ITIL cert( First level one ). Took the test ( it has to be through your job ) and barely passed..LOL . I only had 1 - 3 days to study because I was sick..

I can't remember shyt about it though......

If you're planning on being a developer than the A+ won't be of much help to you. You might be better off looking through the developer thread instead.

developer/programming information and careers thread
Yea I'm not strong in the programming aspect of things. As I was checking the Comptia road map, my destination would start with A+, then A+ fundamental, ACA, Site developer, GACA and so forth.
