Does WLAC offer a A+ or Net+ training?
WLAC does not offer a specific A+ or Net+ training program. But, many of the classes you have to take for the MCSE or Cisco certification would prepare you for either certification. The biggest exception would be PC hardware. The MCSE program is more software that hardware. The Cisco program is hardware oriented, but the focus is on networking related hardware, such as, hubs, bridges, switches, and routers. The A+ or Net+ exam will test you on both of the topics I just mentioned. You will be expected to know the concepts behind network operating systems, such as, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000, as well as, networking concepts including LAN and WAN theory. If you pursue the MCSE/CCNA certification you will be well prepared to sit for the A+ and/or Net+ exam. Also, keep in mind that a A+ or Net+ certification would limit your career options, because these are basically technicans-oriented certifications.
