How long to study for?
Im looking to get my first certification, do you think i should choose A+ over ccna, or the other way?
Also how long on average did everyone study for in preparation. Thanks.

Assuming that you are a regular, but enthusiastic computer user, with no technical training and no work experience, I'd say give yourself 18 weeks to 6 months of part time study for A+.
I wouldn't bother with the CCNA until you had some good basic skills. But if you really wanted to, then sign up for a CCNA Academy program at a local school/college/polytechnic/university (whatever you have in your part of the world). It will probably take a year to complete.
If you have work experience, or some formal training, or beyond usual skills, then things might be different. I'd still say that the A+ would need at least 3 full days for revision for each exam, and a similar amount (maybe a bit longer) for each ICDN1 and ICDN2, at the minimum.
Good luck!!
