        if they are taking the certification test, then you shouldn't really skip.

        Added a new training category so that we can organize that type of material better rather than grouping it under careers.

        Awesome.

          I agree a lot of A+ is bench/not very important. but at the same time if you're taking a test on the full curriculum then you need to study the full curriculum.

          Not aware of anyone in the community looking to do that. The A+ is not foundational to the IT field. So if you are using it as an educational tool, skipping is best. If you are using it for certification for another field, then skipping is bad. For for IT folk, the idea behind the stuff skipped is that it is literally wasting your time versus actually learning something useful.

            So none of your interns are taking the certification exam?
            Sure, I agree .

              another note to add onto this - What if it's a requirement for a job/career that you have the A+ cert under your belt?
              I've seen many job postings that say you need to have at least A+, Network+ , Security+ before applying.

                It would depend on the job. As Scott's said many times before - if it's an IT job, and they are demanding A+, then they really don't know what they are looking for, and likely you want to pass on that company anyhow.

                  I remember that discussion, now that I think about it more.

                    If anyone actually wants it, then they go out and pay for it and take it.

                    No one is going to spoon feed you.

                      No, that would be silly. Even ones that would eventually do some bench work, the A+ is useless for enterprise bench work and is focused on consumer bench. We are not a bench company, nor a consumer one. So the A+ broadly doesn't apply in any way to us as a company, or IT interns looking for IT careers.

                        If we knew of someone doing it, adding in those links at that time is trivial. And the links to get to the material through a secondary link are there, and knowledge that the topics are skipped is there. If you check the page, they are listed but not linked. So should be super clear that they exist and how to get them. But if someone wanted to do it, and they mention it, adding them is easy.

                            If it's already in your house, it's passed the stage of being dangerous. . .

                                  If the tree is in your house already, that would mean the tree fell over into your house at some point and there are people there removing the fallen tree from your house.

                                    @DustinB3403 Um, no. The tree is standing, its just really tall. I never said the tree fell down.

                                      That would mean it's inside of your house, either you live in a tree house or it fell over.

                                          Well now we're getting somewhere. When did you move into the tree house and how long have you lived there?
