    I don't know where you are taking courses, but my A+ Certification
course is costing me $416 dollars, which includes the $40 dollar book.
After
I am done this course, I should be able to pass the $200 dollar test.

    I too feel better taking it with an instructor as I like the immediate
feedback I get from an instructor. I have logged many hours learning on my
own, but I like classroom settings better.
