A+ Course Pitmann
I've just been for a demo for the CompTIA A+ Pitmann course but after having a long conversation with the course person I'm still a little confused.
The guy said there was no exams at the end only a pre-assesment and assessment.
It's the online course with 24hour support.
What's confusing me the most is I see other people talking about the a+ Course talking about exams.
Can anyone make sense if this and is there more than one a+ Course?
Thanks

Why do you think you want a 'course' for the A+ certification? Some experience and a bit of study is how most make this entry-level cert happen?
Save your money, buy a text or two and read up, download the objectives, and schedule the exams yourself. Most bootcamps for entry level certs are money-makers for those hosting them. The higher level cert bootcamps will only be of benefit if one has some experience.Plantwiz

Most people are probably talking about taking the A+ at the end of coursework at WGU or another online university. There are many, many A+ courses out there but unless they have a deal with CompTIA you're going to have to pay for both exams yourself.timku.com(puter) | ProHacker.Co(nsultant) | ITaaS.Co(nstultant) | ThePenTester.net | @fuz1on

Yup. You can just take them with self-study like many have successfully done! Good luck!timku.com(puter) | ProHacker.Co(nsultant) | ITaaS.Co(nstultant) | ThePenTester.net | @fuz1on

Ok thanks, how much roughly does each exam cost. I know there's two of them and where are these best purchased from?

$194 each from CompTIA but there are vouchers available from various providers which can lower the price to as low as $75 a pop.
Google search "IT certification exam vouchers". I'm not trying to steer you to any particular vendor so I'm being kinda vague on purpose...hope you understand.timku.com(puter) | ProHacker.Co(nsultant) | ITaaS.Co(nstultant) | ThePenTester.net | @fuz1on
