What is a good A+, MCSE..etc software training program?!?!

[Phedis]

I am looking for some good A+ Certification and MCSE training software. There are a lot more courses that I am interested in so what is a good company? Anybody have any experience with anything? I know college courses would be best but I was just wondering if there were any software courses. Thanks

Best software EVAR. You will pass the tests with this, guaranteed.

It uses exact questions from the tests.

I vote for those ones you get on TV for free. Just pay shipping & handling. 🙂

Are you looking to learn from scratch with software training videos? Or are you wanting practice test software to test your skills?

Depends on if he's wanting to just "pass the test" or wanting to actually LEARN the concepts. IMO, "braindump" material that uses exact questions from the tests do nothing for the individual, nor for the company hiring that individual. It devalues the certification for everyone because companies that hire a "certified tech" who can do no more than answer 50 "exact-questions-from-the-test" will think twice when hiring another "certified tech" in the future.

I want to actually LEARN the concepts. Ya, I dont really care if they guarantee me to pass a test. I want to know in my mind that I know. Sort of a start from scratch type thing. I have a pretty good background. I just want to make sure I know it all.

Well, this stuff will help you pass the test. The stuff that the test covers does not = stuff that goes in on the real world. Taking the initiave to learn is the first part. Read the books, play with some computers, and when you need to take the test, go for that software. I've seen techs that know quite a bit , fail tests, because the tests cover book knowledge, and usually not real world knowledge. Just trying to give him a heads up.

MCSE & A+ is not going to do much for you in today market. It is best to put the effort in some thing more tangible such as college, Oracle/DB2/MS-SQL, C/C++/VB/Java, and business management tools such as Cognos power tools.

Thats like telling a Dentist "well, there isnt much demand for dentists these days, so you might as well become a physician."

You are right. However, the market has change and to survive in IT a tech worker need to be versatile & adaptable.

There is still a market out there for techs. Just have to find a place willing to hire entry level, and work your way up. That is what I did. Versatile, and adaptle yes..but taking on an entirely different field would be difficult for most people.
