Everyone who has computer should have a A+ book. And nobody should pay into a school to teach them . YouTube is the best teaching for mastering your computer .

Get your A+ because it tells organization you are trained and you put the effort to be certified!

Great video. I was A+ and Microsoft certified 20 years ago when I was a field support tech installing shipping and POS systems. I am getting recertified just to get myself up to date on the technology. I am semi retired and I want to get on a help desk and maybe move to desktop support. Believe it or not, I consulted with CompTIA on a now defunct cert (PDI+) back in 2007. I really enjoy listening to your videos. Keep it up. Oh for all you complainers, just listen to Eli, he knows his stuff.

With a 4 years background on the helpdesk... soft skills and communication is always number 1!

I just wanted to put this out there that A+ is way more then just hardware. Most of your marks on the test do some from hardware and as Eli said be ready for some stupid hardware questions but the best learning I got from studying this was the networking module. It actually has a lot of the base stuff that Net+ teaches you, you learn all the protocols and their acronyms and then port TCP or UDP they are associated with and just a general idea on what networking is and how all the gear works

Incredible source of information and teacher. It's a shame he never finished his A+ training course videos. He made it to Storage and then stopped without explanation. Hope at some point he'll start posting technology videos again.
