Is a Comptia A+ Certification Worth Doing?

So I have graduated from university 20 months ago now. I have found it tough to get my first graduate job. I really want to work within IT Support as an IT Technician or IT Engineer, and I know the CompTia A+ certification provides that pathway. Is it worth it? I know it’s a silly question but I just want to know the benefits a-bit more and I just want some advice please was anyone in the same position?

Hi there,
My name's Ilya, a Cyber Security third year student at DMU.
I am myself currently studying for Security+. Generally speaking having a certification is better than not having one. However, work experience is genrally much more important than certifications. So, if it's going to be your first IT job, A+ will not harm you as it teaches you a lot of really important concepts. And it's still sometimes present in job descriptions as well.
P.S. The only downside with A+ (in my personal opinion) is its price. But if it's not a huge obsticle for you, I would go for it.
Take care,
Ilya

I did it when I was 18 and it made no difference whatsoever to employment prospects. It was easy, too easy in some ways, and I never felt that it was particularly rigorous. A waste of money for me, but this is 20 years ago so maybe things have changed.
