A+ training at a your pace - 4 1/2 stars.

A+ is the largest certification by number in the IT industry today, with over 600,000 certified technicians. Training for the exam is a mostly self study and practice exam, that's why it is so important to find the best material on the market. The training kit has 2 cd's that have over 6 hours of training videos available to view and review at your pace. The speaker(s) are easily understood and the clarity is very good as well. This kit makes a perfect companion to Peter's A+ book, and it is included in e-format on the cd. There is also over 200 practice questions included on the cds and I think this should have been a separate cd. The material covered does in fact go over each and every exam objective, plus more, as in the case of the operating systems covering 9X, ME, NTWS and 2000 Professional. Also included is a workbook for taking notes on any of the topics, which include troubleshooting, printers, which is an excellent breakdown, laptops, hardware and operating systems. I like the fact you can repeat lessons, also the fact you can skip around and customize the learning to your needs. As for the install, I was able to run the software on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT Workstation, 2000 Professional and XP Professional so there is no excuse for not learning. About the only drawbacks is the timing, this should have released closer to the newest exams, and the material should have been on DVD as well.
