+1 They are (and should be) easy compared to a Cisco or M$ cert; as Erik stated, they are good for a baseline. Also, keep in mind that since CompTIA is vendor-neutral, they can't go to the granularity that a vendor specific exam tends to cover.

I wouldn't ever consider one of these certs alone as any significant expertise, but along with work experience helps to show a base level of competency at least. For the cost of a self-study book and the test, probably worth it, but if you need a class, or series of classes to pass, then maybe not.

I did the sample questions for A+, security, network and server. Frankly, I found them to be relatively easy compared to a Cisco cert. ________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection.
