-Trial and Free software
NOT Pirated Software
ETCG Track

-Will not be enough to pass test alone.
Final Thoughts
-Learn the material, but don’t take the tests
-TESTS TAKE A LOT OF WORK
MCSA for Windows 10 is far better than A+ (2 tests also)

Everyone who has computer should have a A+ book. And nobody should pay into a school to teach them . UA-cam is the best teaching for mastering your computer .
You paying the school because you need the certificate which UA-cam can't give let think about it
@@alliahamed4864 Why pay school for certificate when we can pay for professional certificate such as Security+, CEH, CCNA
And study from youtube only
Facts. I agree with you.
Get your A+ because it tells organization you are trained and you put the effort to be certified!
Most IT government jobs require the comptia certs
You don't need to read a book to study. I knew a bit before taking the test. And watched Professor Messer here on UA-cam to learn the rest. That was 10 years ago, and Professor Messer is still up to date.
He's great!
Your the best! Good to have you back, looking forward to more of these professional videos. We need them,
With a 4 years background on the helpdesk... soft skills and communication is always number 1!
Thank you for the video update, and thank you for all the content you create!
Great timing on this release. I am in schooooool which ends the year with an A+ cert (security+) and I am glad that I am getting the balanced view on what the A+ cert is in the real world.
...yes, I took school for this. I need the dedicated time to learn and test, where I have fam and home, and mortgage, and other distractions; as I am about your age.
Great video. I was A+ and Microsoft certified 20 years ago when I was a field support tech installing shipping and POS systems. I am getting recertified just to get myself up to date on the technology. I am semi retired and I want to get on a help desk and maybe move to desktop support. Believe it or not, I consulted with CompTIA on a now defunct cert (PDI+) back in 2007. I really enjoy listening to your videos. Keep it up. Oh for all you complainers, just listen to Eli, he knows his stuff.
You break things down so clearly -- it's unbelievable.
It was great to have meet you at the wedding. I appreciate all your videos, your teachings are a tremendous service. Your a real person, Thanks...
Great video Eli, glad to see you back in business with IT videos.
I just wanted to put this out there that A+ is way more then just hardware. Most of your marks on the test do some from hardware and as Eli said be ready for some stupid hardware questions but the best learning I got from studying this was the networking module. It actually has a lot of the base stuff that Net+ teaches you, you learn all the protocols and their acronyms and then port TCP or UDP they are associated with and just a general idea on what networking is and how all the gear works
Thank you for being so clear on the value of this certification, I'm going to buy a book and learn the material. Then I'll probably study for an MCSA.
Hey Eli Happy New Year! Thank you so much for this Video! I've been dragging my feet about scheduling the testing. I want to feel more confidant about the test material before trying to come up with the funding. I've been working with the VA medical center for about five years in the nursing services dept. while trying to prepare myself for the professional approach to Entry Level - IT. Got a few years experience recycling computers and traveling around the city working with private and professional co. as part of a team installing and updating some networks. I've been keeping very occupied studying some Linux and Windows Architecture and troubleshooting. Cloud storage, Iptables, Algorithms, installing updating and compiling from source code, compiling modules and soon. Just to mention some of the subjects I've gotten myself into dealing with a few Linux distributions. As well as was State Certified Computer Operator way back in the 80's: MS Dos, Lostus 1, 2, & 3 Dbase +, Word perfect 5.0 and on etc... Windows. I'm in the process of getting my hands on a digital copy the All in One CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Guide (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) - Seventh Edition Mike Meyers McGraw-Hill I'm adding it to the top shelf of my currently reading & to do Library Archive. Even though I realize That self should be the emptiest shelf in my library of resources. Got to go Thanks again!
Oh wow. I'm considering trying to get certified, so the timing behind this is perfect. Thanks!
He first uploads the video to his website and after a certain amount of time, he will upload it to youtube. If you're really interested then I think it was $10 a month to get access to the content as soon as it comes out.
it's the other way around....
[32:08]
Thank you, I was hopping you would say that, because that's exactly why I am here.
Looking forward to watch the playlist.
I missed these classes. :)
Also, I need to get this certification to complete my associates degree program.
I'm studying Mike Myers A+ and spending a few hours reading server 40-410 and playing around with VMware. I'll be following this class closely.
He is back again with IT video.😀
Hi Eli, what do you think about using TestOut Labsim as preparation for A+ exam? They have dedicated sections with practice questions and tests for 901 & 902. I have access to their resources through my school. I wonder if it's enough. I have already received their certification: PC Pro, but government does not recognize it, so it's worthless... Thanks
Incredible source of information and teacher. It's a shame he never finished his A+ training course videos. He made it to Storage and then stopped without explanation. Hope at some point he'll start posting technology videos again.
great info thanks. NOw way off topic. I am going for the ccna sec. I bough the CCNA Security 210-260 Official Cert Guidebook for this. But after I got it, I now see the reviews of the book and alot of people says it sucks. do you have any recommendations on a good book for ccna security? I am using cbt nuggets and I do have hardware at home for the labs.
Just a curious question. Looking through the list for your A+ track, you have a video set to private. Was wondering if that would be part of the track or private for just well, private reasons?
Hi. I know its offtopic but still... Do anyone knows why i get very short lag after i am opening for example "chrome", after i double click to open application mous crusor and screen freezes for about half/full secound. Im using win 10 on legion y720. Its kinda annoying since specs are really good and also evrything is on PCIe M.2. SSD.
I've been working in retail selling cellphones for the last 8 years and at the age of 33 am looking to get into IT. I can go into details if you want but my question is where should I start? I have no college degree, and no certifications. I looked threw indeed at job listings and the most popular certification requirement that I saw was A+ so I figured I'd start here. Should I be starting somewhere else instead or am I on the right path?
I think the 220-1001 & 220-1002 Is now the current version of the exam. . . Will the certification guide you mentioned be ok to use in order to pass the exam in 2019?
I think an A+ would help in any case, because resumes are put through tracking systems that otherwise will dump your resume if you don't have the right certs or education. Or the wrong keywords for that matter. I currently have a CCNA but it hasn't helped as network engineering positions require other sys admin duties as well as 5+ years of experience "in a support technician role" to get your foot in the door.
I'm 33 and have had exp it jobs and warehouse it jobs including rackbuilding do you think I can skip a+ and get network +?
I've read that entire book already. I'm going over it so I can get my certification.
Hi Eli, I am a novice in IT domain but want to seriously get into Could domain 9AWS). I was told by those who are already in Cloud field that I need to have the knowledge of Linux OS and Networking before getting into AWS. Will the knowledge I gain in CompTIA A+ help me in my path to AWS. If not can you suggest an alternative Networking basics certification
I actually enjoyed the video man keep it up. Looks like you are a genius on technology.
Would you advise to skip this and go direct to server administration cert if over age 30 ?
good show my friend, legacy wise, how far back do these test reach?
I was taking a practice test 1001 and they asked a topology question example star
But no where in the comptia book the different kinds are covered
I'm 37 and I have an AAS in Network Systems Management and have a CCNA, plus internship experience, and I can't even get call-backs for a desktop or Tier 1 tech support job. The IT professionals may not look highly on the A+, but the HR rep who doesn't know jack about IT will be looking for it. A lot of entry-level jobs still look for 2-3 years experience and the A+.
Your back with I.T that’s awesome!!
Hi Eli I’m new and subbed to your channel I’m 28 years old and I am really interested in getting into IT because I’m visually impaired and I really think IT would be a great idea for me instead of Automotive. How do I get started with A + and can I go through Comptia ? Plus I really love technology so how do I get in contact with Comptia?
One of the question in the A+ was about a projecter
A projector is installed 12ft away from the screen on the ceiling when it projected top is narrower and bottom screen is wider, what is the option to fix that issue? A+ is design to make money... I think, next time they will look for stuff in the toilet bowl...
Is it okay if I get the "tenth or eleventh edition A+ book?"
Should i take free courses that prep you for a+ certificate and offering computer repair classes
Want to add this also, the first 10 questions will be a simulation such as configure and secure this router for this home (220-902) or (220-901) build an ITX pc for a user who burns multiple moves and wants to watch in HD. THEN 80 questions lol
I left the RN in 2000 and got myself an MCP before I had ever worked in IT. Didn't have a clue about how to even fault find at the time.
Hello, are there any hands on exercises given when taking
the comptia A+ exam?
No, but there are "Performanced-Based" ?'s (On my 902, 1st question = Rename PC, Join to Domain, & map to a Drive., also was 2 or 3 more, Can't remember) But it threw me Way off, seeing as how I didn't know the Last Step (Other than to go to Disk Management, & Add a drive letter) Seems easy, but threw me off (Went through the Rest of the Test & Came back, Saved me..)
Net+ & CCNA are my Current studies.
If you fail one part does that mean you have to take both parts again?
These are really helpful. You should do a video on MCSA/MCSE.
I'm starting a course on A+ N+ S+ tomorrow, and judging by the comments I won't regret it
All 3? 5-Month's later, honestly how did that turn out? The truth?
Welcome back, brother.
My good Sir Eli, the 1st version of this video was at the 40+ minutes, then got removed and then we have this one. What happened?
There was a duplicate video segment in the first video, he quickly addressed it, encoded and re-uploaded the video
Kyle Bracke thx for the info.
Man, i got " A+ed"!!! that sucks & i have to tell you ,i feel like i got reemed, most of the job recruiters also didn't make a big deal about having it ,other than to get your foot in the door, they emphasized ,more on the network & security .
i do see how all that stuff has nothing to do with doing actual work. pearsonvue makes you pay every time.
your 2 cents was worth my time and i have A+, network + the current security + & ceh books .
i got a good understanding of your overview .
thanks.
Cisco is excellent idea or a good project no way dealing with msf except if I was working for the msf I'm going with a project, nice to having you back;)
Is there a Mac version of A+?
Whet should a person that’s 35 should do to get into IT?
Hi Eli, wow your videos are very pleasant and useful! I see your point about recommending the A+ certification for teenagers, while I'm 38 years old! But, there's a but, and I would be TOTALLY GRATEFUL to hear your opinion. It's kind of a private thing. Can I ask you a question? How? Thanks so much. If you don't have time, don't worry at all, I understand. All the best!
i bought this book just for the hell of it, maybe a couple years ago.. been subbed to you for longer than that lol, so i'll happily follow along with this series. thanks for your time eli
Does the certificate have your score on it? In other words, when a prospective employer views your credential, will they be able to see your passing score - whether you got a perfect score versus a barely passing score?
No . It does not have your score.
@@marandanealy09 Thanks for the answer.
what certificates do I need for helpdesk in the England
It's good to see this kind of content from Eli again
he's back! - great
sir how about making video about ccna R&S test
Great video!! 😁
Nice! I already own the bible and watched Mike's vids on networking topics.
But i was wondering if i should take the compTIA exam (A+ or networking) as a surplus or not.
Since I start IT classes next month, and my school will pay for my CCNT or CCNA exam and a microsoft exam i will prolly skip compTIA after watching this vid :).
Hi Eli, do you have podcasts? I you do, where? if you don't, you really should considered, your material is
really suitable for it.
Thanks for keeping it real Eli.
always fun to watch eli
Meyers A+ book is 10th edition now. I got it, because it has the latest technology, like new PC4 RAM and cell phones and that sort of thing, nothing I was using 5 years ago had any of that stuff.
Hey, Eli! Any chance you could make a video on CompTIA Network+ just explaining the syllabus? I just saw a job listing asking for someone with a "good working knowledge of networking", but then also says the Network+ would be desirable. If not a video on the Network+, then perhaps a response to this comment suggesting how one might demonstrate knowledge of the topics in a cover letter/resume?
Loving the channel as always, keep doing what you're doing.
So how do learn A+ without taking the course ?
I will always keep my A+ cert current.
I was forced to pass a+ and network+ back in grade 5 by my parents.
lol back then it was 601 and 602. most of the stuff was intuitive common sense stuff
Eli finally gave up the ghost. Good for him!
I'm not even remotely interested in taking the A+ or anything like that but I watched the whole video pretty interested nice video
Hi, how can i get the A + book in Spanish ???? Thanks
Why do you need it in Spanish when you can clearly speak English? Are you some kind of Russian spy or something?
I am new in IT where should I start without A+. I am good in math. Which is your recommendations on any certificate that can land me entry level job. I am also interested on CCNA. Agin I am new at IT
Thx for this video.
How old are you now
I'm an entrepreneur/technician in a small tech support store in Brazil. I'm thinking about getting an A+ because none of my competitors are certified in any international standards. Is it worth the investment, i mean, for the sake of advertising?
Yes it is.
A network+ track would be nice!
Or Linux+ !!!!
Thanks for giving this good videos
Thank you very much
Big reason you forgot is that the 901 and the 902 will sometimes transfer in as classes for students saving them 1800$ and 2 full classes if they want to finish quickly ... Student also get price breaks
You are one funny dude! Hurt me a little cuz I got my A+ at 28 lol. But shit man, (Watching YOUR Tutorial's) I learned how to setup Win.Server (w/A.D., DHCP, & DNS, as a VM, in ~1 Hour.) & was Awesome connect Many client VM's and see the true control & Being able to See Client's Event Viewer/Etc.. Completely Awesome..
A+ was Needed for me to Really understand PC's (though simple stuff as you said), even though been messing around my whole life (the A+ connected a Lot of dots for me.)
Keep up the Great content, was yrs ago I started learning from you! Just recently Found you again..
Are these A+ classes hard? i have somewhat knowledge in programming
No they are not hard at all (If you know the Objective's, you'll pass) Like Eli said, Need to study the Actual Exam Topic's (As stupid as they may be) But I would Never take back that experience..
30 bloc M A+ has very little to do with programming
nothing to do with programming
I’m 25. And I’m trying to get into IT There’s a program offering free training for A+ & google support
I remember taking my A+ and having to remember IRQ numbers.
I never needed to know that info outside of the test.
Just like in Cisco's Exam asking you what RFC number is this protocol..
Really? You must be fairly new then, because I have had MANY instances when I had to know what should be using what IRQ, and why it wouldn't be...
I'm guessing then, that you have also never typed "Edit Config.sys"
I got my A+ around 2004. Not sure what you do, but I never needed to know if the floppy or PS2 mouse came first.
IRQs are almost never handled in any real direct way in any newer versions of Windows since that's basically the entire principle of Plug and Play. Unless you're writing really low level drivers, you're never going to need them for daily use.
I was looking into school and the finance dept was telling me to take out 14k for a 9k debt for school, wasn't willing to do that so self teaching myself online for free. Just passed my Comptia Fundamentals now on to Comptia A+
What are we in 2005????
Hi Eli is it necessary to have A+ before N+
no, but its necessary to watch the fucking video. How are you going to have the patience to learn N+ if you don't even have the patience to listen to a quick youtube video
Hey Eli,
Where do you recommend a person around their mid 20's and 0 IT experience to start? Network +? CCNA? CCNP? Genuinely asking because I am currently reviewing the A+ material and I understand it a significant portion; but after viewing your video I am honestly having second thoughts about obtaining my A+ cert and possibly jumping ahead. My main goal is to enter the world of Cyber Security but also believe having other certifications on my resume would help me in the long run. I hope you have the time to answer this for me, thank you.
Jacob Robinson hey man I'm pretty much in the same situation, just curious to know what you've decided?
North,
I've been following Eli for a while so I honestly felt a way about his thoughts on the A+ route being for teenagers. But with that being said I've already invested so much time into the A+ that I might as well get certified and move on to my goal of entering the cyber security field after attaining the certs and/or education in between.
While studying for the A+, I do believe that someone with zero experience in I.T. should learn the basics of the software and hardware of a computer as it could be a crucial step in your future career.
Plus if you have good study habits you could get this cert in about two to three months, depending on how dedicated you are. Hope that helps you out man.
id recommend CCNA and later go on to do the cybersecurity exam by cisco then, they're one of the biggest companies i think and there certs are said to go a long way.. id do research however this is only information passed on to me, but i hope it helps
Thank you. That's actually the path I plan to take.
Hey, now let me know what should I have if I am 35, cause you just broke my heart telling A+ is good for 15y.o one
Too old, don’t bother. At 35, you should be looking beyond a min. wage certification.
Learn the material for what's on the course but by no means take the cert as you'll waste time and have the potential to accomplish much more. 21 y/o here just learning the material but not going to get the cert.
Thank you, my friend! That's exactly what I am doing. Knowledge is power.
Don’t listen to him lol
@@xJiiNx0 Why would you Not get the Cert? People are getting the Wrong message here...
A+ certificate is good for working at bestbuy. I did benefit from having mine at 18 I got paid by Bank of America $30 each computer just to power down and. unplug them since my boss who owned the company didn't have one . They didn't want someone who wasn't "certified" touching the computers
I found professors in the CST program really pushed the importance of comptia a+. Once I graduated, and proudly added my certification to my resume. Only to the literally have employers tell me a+ means nothing, is worthless etc. sigh
wow a+ introduction class from Eli. This is very unlike of Eli
I know, it kind funny thou
It's not for you or I. . There's 7 Billion people in the world and there's a lot that don't know where to begin.
You go where the customers are...Useless or not, there are still a LOAD of people going to take the test. Honestly though, in my opinion, if you have to study for an A+, then you shouldn't have your A+.
Gerff that doesn’t even make sense homie
@@gerff01 Really? So all IT people should know off the top of their head, how many pins are in every type of connector and of those pins, how many are data pins and how many are power pins? Should they also be able to recall by heart the speeds of every version of every data pathway, going back to parallel technology?
If you believe that you're an elitist jerk. Eli said in this video, that some of the information is so inane that he and the people he knows, can't recall alot of it off the top of their head.
Have this cert and its been useless as CCNA got me going back when I was younger
Well, after socket 7 Pentiums and Slot 1 Pentium IIs and III's socket 370 rocked!
Just passed the 901 with a 781 today! the $600 exam!
What resources did you use to pass A+
I have my A+. Computer concepts let my mind escape from hurtful situations in life. I'm studying for Network+. Money doesn't matter, We will all be broke when we die anyway. When I passed A+, I was drained and depressed. A price to pay for avoiding people.
Najia Jones damn dude
How are you doing nowadays?
I thought you quit youtube
Eli DIDNOT WANT TO SAY: GO TO BEST BUY!!
Yeaa!! Eli is back boiis!! FInally
How many flip flops are there in a 1 gig ram
I guess MCSA: Windows 10 is being discontinued soon
Plz help me A+ the Book, everyone you have.
