well, heres how it sits. I have no schooling or formal training in the IT field, but I service at least 20 different home comps. (normalaly its mostly spyware and virus removal but I occasionaly deal with faulty hardware or bad ram.) I am thinking about getting some certs but I have no idea where to start. I realy don’t have the time to attend a school since I am a full time homemaker as well. (sombodys got to do the dirty work) where should I start? is there some referance books that will help? how would I arrange to take these tests as well? I have a VERY limmited income so this is a deciding factor as well. I understand that I have a limited knowladge base and I am more then willing to increase that base before I test. but I have little to no manuals or guides so lititure is another good recomendation. (titles please) and if your curious yes I did take a pretest at a school or two (rated in the upper 2% nationwide) but I just can’t commit to the $25,000 school loan when the market for IT is in such a slump.
all comments are greatly appreceated.
