[ubuntu-uk] Info on CompTIA?

[Dianne Reuby]

OT really, but where else would I find so many IT people in one place? 

Can anyone tell me anything about CompTIA? Someone on a (non-IT) forum
was asking before they pay for the course. This is from one of the sites
offering it:

> CompTIA A+ is a universally accepted certification all around the
> world and CompTIA certification has a solid reputation in the field of
> IT and because of it's solid reputation in IT industry comptia
> certifications leads for a bright career in IT.

Anyone tell me anything about it?
TIA
