A+ Certification

Hello,

 

So I want to start working on getting my CompTIA A+ certification. I work full time and I'm not interested in reducing my hours to go to a class to get it (Also because there isn't really any short term classes in the area I live in). I already have a natural background in the field because of my interests as well as some experience building my own PCs. 

 

So my question is, what online/e-learning website or program do you recommend to prep for the exam? Right now I'm just looking at the course offered through CompTIA's marketplace "CompTIA A+: Complete eLearning Courseware" but I was wondering if anyone has better suggestions.

I know Cisco has an A+ Class, which will prepare you to write the test.  Before I even did that, I just told my instructor to load the practice exam, and with most general computer knowledge you already have a good deal of knowledge.  The things you won't know will be customer service, SLA, that kind of stuff.

I did the  CompTIA course and the hard cover book is enormous.

You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

Look on the CompTIA website, there is a big PDF of things you should know before starting the exam.

I learned the A+ when I was an apprentice. 
Very basic, very. I've still got the books if you need them and live in the UK.
