New to forum, just go A+

I just passed the tests and waiting for my A+ Certification in the mail.
Completing my first IT certification has moderated me to get more certs.
Will start to study for my Network+ and possible Security+.

For those who have taken these tests, How are they compared to the A+?

Welcome to TE!
Congrats on your A+!

It almost feels like a tiered system of exams. The Net+ builds on the A+ with networking practices and equipment/protocols. I am taking the Sec+ in about 12 hours but the material I have read seems to build heavily off the Net+ exam. Some people elect to skip Net+ baring they choose a vendor but it can't hurt to take the Net+. Of all the three exams, I feel the Sec+ material was the most interesting to read about.
