michael myers 5th edition all in one and sybex A+ and passport A+. never
get all your information from one source!

You can go to course.com and get text books for the A+. I prefer text
books for studying for the A+ because of the breakdown of information.
Each chapter follows a logical sequence of learning. Building from
chapter to chapter. They are hardcovered and cost more than the A+
passport book. However, well worth it. Also, there are labs in each
chapter to give you hands on experience. The books are put out by
Thompson course Technology. You could probably also get them from a
reputable bookstore. They have several different textbooks, you can
also get a complete bundle for about 150 bucks. The bundle has all
kinds of studying materials, software, lab books, tool, etc.

If you have no previous Certs then you are fooling yourself if you think you
can do Server + without doing A+ first !

Then again if you have years of experience in the field A+ serves no
purpose other then as a formality. Particularly, if one's experience is
in infrastructure. Which would beg the question, why get a certificate
unless you are looking to either a) transition into networking, b)
seeking to progress in the field or solidify one's position in the
organization or c) necessary for providing warranty work.

I only say this because A+ is for those needing to validate their
knowledge and equivalent experience of 500 hours in the field. While
Network+ is for those with 9 months of experience. If you have
substantially more experience then this, it serves little purpose other
than for b and c in the preceding statement.

Oh well the fallacy of certifications.


Best bet to keep all happy, is to do both the A+ and Network+.

Hi Remo,

I own 4 MCP (NT4 Server, NT4 Workstation, NT4 Enterprise and Networking
essentials).

I succeed 5 practice exams of Server+ and I didn't bought the book yet,
I know that somes exams are really tough but I will study.

Bye !

Hello,

I repair and build computers since 5 years in a computer store so I have
a lot of experience but some enterprise prefer diploma or certificate too.

I have a question, in some place to be HP or Compaq or any other brand
name authorized dealer or repair center, they need A+ certified
technician, is a Server+ can replace a A+ in those place ?
