Computer online classes

[longislandman99]

Hello I was wonder if anyone has taken online classes for comptia on the website www.onlc.com? If so how are they ?

[Christophe Corazza]

Never heard of them. Although not surprising since I'm not in the IT business. 

I would actually never wollow online classes though. What are you trying to gain with the classes for CompTIA?

[Canada EH]

looks like a scam website

[longislandman99]

I’m trying to get into the it field and and can only take online classes because I work 10 hour days

At this day and age I don't really care for how much of valuable info a company can give me if it's website doesn't even have sliding animating css and stuff. I can bet whatever you are trying to learn you can learn through youtube and lurking in thousands of forums out there. Also it looks very outdated I wouldn't go as far as to say it is a scam

Real colleges and universities have online classes.

Then you can get a real diploma/certificate or phd

2500 for an A+ class???? Not to mention it doesn't come with exam vouchers????

NO DO NOT use them

Even if they are legit, they're overpriced by a factor of ten

This guy is legit, and udemy has his 901 course on sale for 10$ for the next 5 hrs. Normally it's 150, and it's a good price for his content either way

A study guide that will over 901 and 902 costs like 50 bucks on Amazon and comes with exam vouchers, just to put this in perspective.

Nice, mine is by Quentin Docter and a couple other guys.

 

Currently serving as a monitor stand for reasons I'd rather not get into right now. Come to think of it, I really should move it out from under my display so I can study while recovering...

Wait, where did you find a sudy guide with vouchers for $50?? the exam is 200/exam or something like that?

Also a good option is comptia certmaster.

https://store.comptia.org/p/A-BDL-DLX

For 309, you get their study material straight from comptia, and an exam voucher and a retake voucher in case

I wouldn't be able to tell you lol the price went up since I bought it.

 

EDIT: turns out the book is around 50 and came with a 10% off coupon for exams.

 

This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Complete-Study-Guide-220-901/dp/1119137853/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1527808053

This is highly overpriced. Education for computer related stuff can be found for cheap/free easily.

I knew it was all lies!!  But realistically, he should be able to get a bundle for 250-300. That site he found has college class prices. I know because i stupidly tried university of phoenix for A+ for 3K, and when i got out with an A+ I took a practice test online and got a 20%

It really surprises me that you can find so many online classes related to ICT on the internet. That’s completely not the case with my studies though. So you simply follow those classes and how about the exam? How is that supposed to work? Where?/How?

Not interested, just curious :-D

1. What studies?

2. Most people take the exams through Pearson Vue, which is a large testing center company

1. What do you mean: “ What studies?”

Do you mean what ICT studies you can follow?

2. So those online classes can actually  be seen as online “handbooks”? After which you take a standardised exam? You’re basically paying for the information?

1. What classes do you take that you think can't be found in this manner

2. the bundle i referred to was paying for the information in the form of either a study platform from the company or online teaching videos, along with covering the cost of taking the exam to get the certification

Basically almost all information that you learn at university can be found online in the form of textbooks and alike. However, not all of these classes also have online variants (study platform) with exams for certification.

Most classes in this day and age have online learning variants, but not all fields use certifications

Ex: Finance

Ex: Ethics

That concept of online classes only works with studies that have/use certifications. However, there are a lot of studies where the end goal is “simply” obtaining the degree.

I would disagree. There are many online classes just to learn things

[longislandman99]

A lot of good information yeah I am trying to study to get the  certifications that I need for a it job or computer fields. Will definitely skip that website
