Any good books available?

Do you know of a good book to learn PC technology to help prepare for A+ certification?

Are there any forums on-line for A+ and/or Network + certification?

Try looking in the ComTIA's web site for their suggested training materials.

My advice may seem like a joke but it is not. Go to the library and read every "Dummies computer book"
When you are interviewed you are likely to be tested on way more than how a system works. At best you will fix computers by swaping "known working parts" but you will not need to know the details of all things.
Unless the goal is to fix broken pc's an A+ is not what will get you a good paying job in IT

Just looking at the A+ as a starting point for certification(s). My curent job is encouraging everyone to get certifications such as CCNA and PMP. I've been more of a project manager in recent years. I thought A+ would be a good place to start

I found these free videos quite helpful. Professor Messer's Free 220-70x CompTIA A+ Training Course | Professor Messer - CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Certification Training

If you want an IT job they expect you to know everything. All you need to know is more than them.
