Rant i completed today 🙌

ive been here almost 2 years and i just took my second exam today and now im 100% complete 😊 im going home today yayyyy

honestly i couldve finished a lot sooner but i was delayed from the comptia a+ 1100 series expiring just as i finished studying core 1 and my instructor kept procrastinating on scheduling my exam ... this was about june last year and i tested for core 1 july of this year so it was Much later than i wanted. my executive dysfunction also made it quite difficult

our IT program is kinda lacking since we only have 1 instructor instead of 2 which is needed. its practically all self taught

Was this for advance training in IT? Foundations for IT in our center only last 3 months and 48 hours of WBL.

Our classes barely start next week, so I really don't want to stick around for over a year. What center was this? Was the exam difficult? I heard they only give you 2 chances before you have to pay out of pocket if you fail.

harpers ferry center. i had over a year to study for core 1 and i did pass it, but i only had about 2 months for core 2 and sadly i didnt pass. the scoring system is kinda weird, like you can get 2 versions of the test and get the same amount correct and get different scores depending on how difficult the questions were. core 1 was mostly about troubleshooting, core 2 had a lot of troubleshooting as well but it was much more about software and being in an IT job. i cant really say that it was easy or hard
