Hi guys,

I am studying for the CompTIA A+ course with London College. So I thought I would open a thread for any questions I may have I can just ask here instead of keep making loads of different threads.

The lessons are two hours and twice a week (monday,wednesday) I had my first lesson on wednesday and was good.

I see you took my advice, good move and good luck!

Ok my first question is that they gave me this book CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide, Deluxe Edition

but they reviews they give aren't that good and say some bits had errors and that. So what books and websites do they think would be helpful for me.

I have seen this book PC Technician Street Smarts: A Real World Guide to CompTIA A+® Skills: A Real World Guide to CompTIA A+ Skills and thinking of getting it. Anyone read it or know info about it?


Thanks, CG

Can't really say as I'm not too sure, but when you finish the course tell me what it's like as I'm interested in it! Along with the Security+ and possibly Network+

Ok I will do. Where was you thinking of doing them?

I'm studying this course atm too :) It's going well although I'm teaching myself using the Mike Meyers complete study book or something like that, heres a [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Certification-All-One-Guide-Sixth/dp/0072263113/ref=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196949322&sr=8-4"]link[/ame]

It's a fantastic book :)

How long does your course last?

[ComputerGuy]

It lasts 5 weeks. Whats it like learning from just the book?

Erm, it's cheaper lol.

It's kinda hard because you have to be self motivated. I have been reading the book for about 4 weeks now and thinking about taking the exams just after xmas.
