What is the fastest way to get a Comptia Training Certification?

--- Asked by reader

Reader elaborates in his email, "A private computer training school in my area is offering a course in A+, network+, Microsoft XP and CCNA. This course goes for 3 months and costs $4,000. It this a good deal?"

My answer:

Run. If you are a new person in IT and these types of 'training schools' target the newbies, then realistically it will take you around 3 months to complete just the A+ study and exams. The course is over priced and unrealistic.

Know what you can get for $4000? A nice home lab. This home lab will give you hours of pleasure. You can play with it, practice with it, talk to it and lose yourself in it. You can become antisocial, skyrocket your IQ and emerge out of that room in five years ready to concur the world being the new Bill Gates of the decade to come.

So don't spend money on crap. Spend money on giving yourself the tools to get where you want.
