A+ Course Pitmann

N417HANN417HAN Member Posts: 9 ■□□□□□□□□□
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.

    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.

    Yup. You can just take them with self-study like many have successfully done! Good luck!

    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.

    Cost of the exam varies by country...just check COmptia or prometric site to get an idea.
