| i thought i'd make a comment about the price of comptia exams ..... in England these exams have little value, my manager at a major IT company, dosen't even know what the I-NET is .... or the A+, Network+ ..
the microsoft exams cost about £80 each, but the I-NET is £171.00 ..... I personally only use comptia exams to build up vendor neutral knowledge, but begrudge paying these ridiculous amounts ..... maybe if i was in america these exams might have more value ....
I have sat my last comptia exam, until they get some value over here or they lower the prices
from what i've seen a lot of jobs in the helpdesk industry seem to mention ms office support quite a lot so i am going to do my outlook MOS and word MOS, and then move back into the msce track ..
Good luck to you Americans who can actually do something with these comptia certs

| That is the same thing in Thailand too. MS Certified are more valuable than compTIA certified.
I think the reason why compTIA are expensive is that they are valid for lifetime...
I got CCNA and planning to take the i-Net+ and Network+ back... But because of the price, I would delay to take it...

| Buy an international voucher from an American site. I am studying in Australia at the moment, and there was no way I was going to pay $450AUD for the e-BiZ+ exam, so I got a voucher from www.ExamVouchers.com I hope this helps you guys. | |

WOW 171 Pounds... isn't that something like 230$ american??
That is very expensive. I got a package deal for A+, N+ and i-Net for 299$ or about 100 a piece. not much of a discount really. I could have gotten individual ones for about 115$ a piece i think... | |

| When you sit these exams , you have to pay tax as well
it puts it up to £170 ish for this exam
maybe its different in America
but here we get shafted | |

| It's all about location!
Perhaps CompTIA means nothing in the UK, however it doesn't mean much more here. My boss thought A+ was an English Literature title I earned.
I hear e-Biz+ which is basically worthless (well no cert is worthless) in the US is very prized in Japan. | |
