What's CBT nuggets?
An IT training website. There are a few I would recommend as well like Pluralsight and Careeracademy.

I prefer those to just reading straight from a book because of the video/lab training.

How do you go about doing the lab training via an online course?

Its a graphical user interface like a regular computer/Virtual machines
So you didn't have to work on actual computer parts for the lab?

A+ is a boo boo cert breh lol. You you dont have enough disciple to just do a cheap UDEMY course to become familier with the concepts IT may not be fore you.

Dont spend a rack for entry level cert

Yeah but you need to know how to take apart a pc. that's the main thing.

get a old pc off. craigslist and practice pulling it apart and back together.

a+ is wack but it's true it's a basic foundation of computers.

most jobs :hhh: at it but you don't wanna be in there even as a programmer and have a pc error or bsod and have no idea what to do, don't know how to change a memory stick or something. I know programmers are big Willie's compared to a A+ but your boss would probably look at you in :mjlol: if you didn't know how to take out memory or Uninstaller a power supply from a pc.

I'm just saying as a overall standard.

pretty sure all the IT guys at my job even the top Dawgs can pull out a hard drive.

I'm not sure what the title is, I think the cio is the top IT dawg, pretty sure he knows and he pushing 70.

just a basic foundation, it's a good investment.

For someone starting out A+ is a great cert to have. The fundamentals are important. Breh up there talking about programmers but Ive worked with my fair share of devs and a lot of em can't troubleshoot basic pc issues. I'm talking about checking to see if a network cable is plugged in shyt :mjstop:

Programmers dont need to know how to trouble shoot PCs especislly when they literally make 4-5 times the brehs fixing PCs
