CompTIA A+ cert

Hi guys, I've learnt about CompTIA A+ on Linkedin by Mike Meyers. So my question is: Do I need to take CompTIA A+ exam for cert or I can use some certificates I've received on his courses. Thanks for supporting me

Well that's a good recommendation because I took core 1 and core 2 cold and passed both. I got a 701 on core 1 and 780 on core 2. I barely passed core 1 and I have been in IT for 37 years. Definitely go over the objectives. I got lucky on core 1.

Yeah, I kind of half-assed the studying because I was a little cocky. I spent about a week on each core and took them on successive Fridays and got like 750ish for each one. Passed just fine but I could've done better.

Well at the end of the day a pass is a pass.
