    Any recommended the CompTIA A+ 2006 and the CompTIA Network+ course on FAS eCollage... Is it worthwhile, recognised in the industry? I'm also doing a Biz system service technician in FAS. The plan in finish all 3 courses and go for mcse too. Will I be employable even thou I’ve no work experience apart from my 4years working full time and my B.S.S.T work-experience?

    Depending on your level of IT prof, you could do it with a book which would be cheaper.. but then again 120 quid aint that expensive

    A+/N+ would be entry level certs, mainly for those front line folks on helpdesk L1 etc.. its a good start and wiill get you in the door somewhere ...

    MCSE is getting old now, you should be looking at MCITP Server Admin or Enterprise Admin on 2008, tho there will be a lot of places that will want/need 2003 admins on staff.

    Honestly, a cert without experience is only just above no experience but at least it shows you have the drive and determination to get the certs and that might give you the edge when trying to break into the market.

    It wont make you instantly employable but it will make you more attractive to the opposite sex i mean employer!

    Hope that helps

    Has anyone experience of the project Management non cert course and would it be worth consideration?
    Also has anyone done the Advance diploma in Project management with CMIT E Learning course ?

    If you want to do Project Management & are looking to be taken seriously then you need to be PMP certified. Don't bother with some college course.
    Go to www.pmi.org for details.
