I am trying to find the best place to take a course to get my A+ certification.
I'm not really looking for a free course (although that is good too) but my one local place wanted $800 for 3 certs. I think it was for A+, Network+ and another one but I don't remember which one.
I have seen these 2 options for courses recommended on here and wondered which you all think is the better one.
Mike Meyers book: Amazon.com: CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 8th Edition (Exams 220-801 & 220-802) (9780071795128): Michael Meyers: Books
Professor Messer's online training: Professor Messer, CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Linux, Microsoft Certification Training He also has DVDs available ($149) so you don't have to do it all online and if I go with this guy I would probably get the DVDs.
Also I am trying to figure out what the difference is between the 220-701/702 and the 220-801/802 exams. I think the 800 ones are updated/new but I'm really not sure. Can I still take the 700 ones if I want to or do I have to take the 800s?
Can the A+ tests only be taken at a local provider of the tests? I know at least one of the local computer places has them available but I don't know what my options are.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I found this on CompTias site so I guess I figured out one of the questions. "The previous version of the CompTIA A+ certification, exam codes 220-701 and 220-702, will be available through Aug. 31, 2013. You can take either exam series to become CompTIA A+ certified.". So would you recommend I do the 700 or the 800?
