| Do you not get any certification with the 2 year diploma? I personally chose to get the certifications one after the other outside of a diploma. This way I can try to get a job one after the other to help pay for the certifications and I don't want to go to school full-time for 2 years.

|  YUP! Ken is right :) I agree with Ken, Why study for the certification and then take the courses when you know the stuff?!? Just take the cours and then you'll almost be ready for the A+ or else after... (Depending on your learning abilities) |

  | Get both, I'm going to get MCSA, A+, Net+ all seperate just becuase, the more certifications on a resume the better, but really what matters more is work experience later on, but how can you get work experience without a diploma or certification? I'm going to college for electrical engineering, which is computer engineering only you can get a phd on it (which I'm going to be going for) It's all a matter of personal preference I guess o.o

| if u have money get the certs. But depends on what you want to be. say your a local fixing shop right(computers) most if not all people coming to you wont know what the **** the certs even mean so they will be useless. GET THE DIPLOMA AT ALL COSTS. you can study for certs to the max and ....... then not take them because you know you know the stuff but u dont want to pay 200 usd. |
