Has A+ been replaced?
Discussion
Hi Nick,
As you probably know from my various posts I'm trying to get some qualifications in order to get into the IT world. I'm prepared to work hard and start from scratch, and one way that has been suggested is to do A+ > MSCE > CCNA. Now I know this will be a long slog, but I'm trying to figure out if that's the best use of my resources, or if I should skip A+ and go straight for MCSE or equivalent?

After i left school i found it impossible to get into IT... every one wanted experience and my general enthusiasum and shcool A* in IT wasnt good enough so i self taught myself in the Comptia A+. It was very hard at first. all i had was a book A MASSIVE BOOK. if you have a general knowledge of IT the exam isnt too bad but once you do a few exam you will know what i mean.
while half way through my 2 A+ exams i was offere a job in IT not best wages but foot in the door. which i stayed for 1 1/2 years (company were compleye tight arses interms of technology). once i passed these it gave me entry into my local college (which at the time was funded by my last company which i had to pay of when i left DOH about a grand) to do the MCSE
Now the Windows XP exam was easy so was the server 2003 but i have only just passed the network infrastructor 2 weeks ago. (WHAT A KILLER) now im doing the Comptia Secturity+ and the microsoft security.
This will give me the title of an MCSA then i need to pass one more (Active directory Infastructor) to give me my MCSE
looking to do some more after that Security Cisco or Server work
But i struggle now with having my own place g/f dog 8-5 hour job to then go to college tues and thurs from 6 - 9.30 (then 20mins to get home) is
ing hard work.. think i would prefer to buy the books and read during the day and night. next course will be done im my own time not at a college.
How old are you? any it experience?

you should look at what in IT you want to do aswell. maybe give your local college a call and ask the paths you can take to get the qualifications you want
You may need to pass certain exams to gain access to take others..
any questions please email me
if your intrested i might be able to find the book for you to look through.. it must be in my loft somewhere..
