| 334253 | 2005-03-15 04:04:00 | Hi, I don't know if this is legal but I am interested in getting a job in computers. I have studied part time with Spherion. But I had to quit because it was too difficult to manage traveling from Hamilton to Auckland to study as well as working fulltime. I am interested in doing A+ cert but don't know who the best provider is. Any ideas? |

| 334254 | 2005-03-15 04:17:00 | A+ cert? Buy a study guide,then book your test. Its pretty simple and while any study is good, A+ cert doesn't make someone capable of fixing or working on comps. In fact, I happened to be walking through a training centre one day and they were teaching the class from Mike Meyers A+ Passport book,none of them were near a comp. Not what i would call $2000 worth. |

| 334257 | 2005-03-15 05:24:00 | NCEA doesnt even have pc tech related subjects, ive checked this out, the only thing close to it is Computing, which is a piece of piss and so basic, the most "advance" thing you would do is learning what a firewall is :rolleyes: im going to do a course at the local polytech in conjunction with my school this year sometime |
