Brent Carpenter, Anglo-American Vulcanized Fibre Ltd.
CompTIA A+/Network+ Certification (7 Days) (5/2/2007 to 11/2/2007)
"This has been the most challenging and interesting experience for me. The course material covered was very intence and cover a broad spectrum of Core Hardware,Software and Networking +.
I have gained a vest amount of knowkedge by attending this couse which is very useful both to successfully pass this exam and be able to apply in a real world senerio.
I have come away with a wealth of infomation which I would not have full grasp if I had choosed a self study course.
Having had instructor led classes provides the forum for you to interact directly with the instructor for any unbigious course material that you might not otherwise be able to solved if you were on a self tought course. It also provides a forum to get together with other people on the course to share ideas in a study group invironment and confidenct building leading up to the test.
The study material and self testing software is relevant to the course. The self testing software also identifies your strong and weak areas of the course material which I've found particular useful and prepare you for the real test on hand.
I would strongly recommend taking a CompTIA Instuctor led course. "
