Spew it back at the correct time at exam. Forget most of it, apply a small useful percentage of it over a few years. Good as a reference but theres something called 'understanding' which is more important. Here Here! Actual applied (on a daily basis) stuff from A+/Net+ was very small compared to the volume of stuff I had to learn. I picked up more in my first 6 months on the job... |

Employers like things to be simple,something to measure how good you are. People who know things want to sell qualifications to employers,whether useful or not. Potential employees end up paying the bill- its great! I did start CCNA at one stage but wasnt interested in studying so much stuff and attempting to remember so much rubbish each week,it was absurd. It was probably a little better than the others. "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." - Mark Twain LOL |
