Well, starting today, I’m officially A+ certified; that means that ours (Joe’s and mine) is the only computer repair business in town with any certification. However, A+ doesn’t exactly entail bragging rights…
Each test costs $145. I say each test because, in order to actually become certified, you need to pass two separate tests. For $290, you get to take the worst written, most poorly regulated, most ambiguous test anyone could imagine. If I’m going to pay them $290 to take their stupid tests, the LEAST liberty they could grant me is to run the damn thing through a spell-check first…unless the Opreating System is a new term that I’m not familiar with…
I hesitate to write this, as someone from the exam might come across this and feel that it is a breach in the contract I signed; that is, not to disclose any information about the test. However, I don’t think that telling people that the words “Opreating[sic]” and “System” occur in the Operating Systems Test could be considered a breach of that contract.
But…in the unlikely event that someone from CompTIA does come across this, I would like you to keep in mind that I have nothing against you personally, everything I write is satire, I didn’t mean it I’m sorry here’s the deed to my soul etc. etc.
