QuickCert A+ The "Star" rating is really not fair, as there are more than a few areas that can be rated. My rating is specific to the A+ 801 online course. I am appreciative of the wide range of content (I would be more appreciative if I actually owned it beyond a licensed period of time). I'm finishing the studies for my 801 exam (scheduled early this coming week), and after re-studying in the order of the CompTIA Objectives, I am feeling confident after about 8 days of frequent study (5 - 8 hours each day). My two observations, and I am hoping this in not the case in the additional 2 courses that I have purchased, are that the instructor covers topics that he notes are "not part of the A+ exam" but he feels it's important. I wish these topics were in their own section. There is so much information to study, I do not need the content muddied with irrelevant technical information if it is not included on the exam. The second item that I could do without (or at least have much less of) are the many anecdotes, some of which are re-stated more than one time. I can appreciate the attempt to humanize the course, but there are too many personal stories that appear to have no relevance to the exam, and they take up precious time that could better be spent on content relevant to the exam.

Good Course Materials/Exam Study Guide Materials I purchased a Groupon for QuickCert Training materials for the CompTIA A+, Networking + and Security + exams respectively. The materials were well presented more or less, good slideshows and demo's involved. Recommendations to be better value to customers: Include Queue cards for studying, access to direct any relevant questions to the training of said course materials, perhaps more challenging chapter reviews. All in all though, fantastic value for a $100 investment.
