If you think A_plus is 'worthless' and 'useless', why are you even posting (trolling) here? Go IM your firend on AOL about J-Lo or something. |

Well, I hope to take the exam God willing before November so, I don't think I should wait for the upgrade. |

More power to ya, especially since CompTIA tests are probably only useful in Nigeria. |

To all you nay sayers out there ... the CompTIA certs do have value and is one of the few things that separates the hot dogs from the real dogs. Check your attitude at the door and leverage your skillset with a cert. You'll feel better in the morning. |

Can you back their value up with concrete facts? I'm talking about statistics that prove your are such and such better off with the CompTIA cert then those who aren't. Sun, Cisco, and Microsuck have at least tried to put this type of validity behind their tests. They also go to such lengths as to prove what salary ranges you might attain with a certain cert. CompTIA has never done this to my knowledge. If they had proven numbers such as these, CompTIA wouldn't be slammed on as much. It would be relatively easy for them to do. Just have them reach out to their current cert holders and get feedback as to the relativity that their certs played in cert holder's current salary--knowing what salary range they have achieved is crucial as well. They won't do this because CompTIA officials know what will happen. Now do you get the picture as to why so many people don't put much weight into CompTIA's $200 PLUS tests? |

I have just passed the A Plus and am proud to have this cert along with two others(Novell),I really am disappointed at those posting their negative views on this test,so I say to those wishing to pass the immortal words "GO FOR IT" you will feel proud afterwards,remember its your achievement that counts. Good luck |

aplus and netplus are now part of mcp and mcsa and then of course leads to mcse so it is quite obviuos that it leads to better pay. plus the morons who work at best buy are just that, MORONS. they can barely tell you the difference between a modem card and a NIC let alone walk in off the street and take this damn exam, it is not easy for anyone unless you have been a pc tech for 5 years or so and keep up on everything that comes out. |

Yes, you learn from A+ but that's not what the negativity is all about. People are negative because they do hold lots of CompTIA certs and are still unemployed. Face it, you can take your CompTIA certs to an HR person and have them evaluate what you are worth and I guarantee you they'll say you are worth a lot less than you think you are. Anymore, if it's not MCSE, CCN?, SCSA/SCNA, or any other big cert than it just doen't matter. CompTIA should focus on certifying Indians because this is the only croud getting and staying employed with these certs. |
