I got my A+ Certification by reading two big thick books on A+ and then taking the two-part test. I also had lots of experience in the field.

If someone showed up with an A+ certificate, I would figure they probably knew something, but that isn't a guarantee. One day we had a guy show up with his A+ Certificate, but he knew NOTHING! (I wondered how he got the certificate!)

However, if someone showed up without any certification, I would wonder why.

In my opinion, you don't need tohave A+, but you do need to have something, like CNA or MCP. All of these are "basic" certifications (not "expert") and so if you aren't an expert, no one will really notice.

However, until you're an expert, I wouldn't brag about having a CNE orMCSE, because when your lack of knowledge shows, you will lose credibility fast. CNE and MCSE mean "expert".
