I recently took two A+ certification classes (one for Hardware, and one for OS). Sad to say, they were pretty expensive and not very valuable. I learn more from VirtualDr than I did in either class.

I have since taken the OS exam (passed with mediocre score), and feel very disgruntled that I paid over $1000 for the classes that did not in any way prepare me for the exam. I am now very concerned that if I take the Hardware exam, I will not be prepared for it.

I guess this is my way of saying thanks to the other members and the admins of VirtualDr for providing an excellent learning tool, which IMO, is more valuable than a classroom setting.
