Please I want to learn about the A+ certification and write the exam, am trying to do a switch from life science to IT. I need your advice please. Meanwhile I got an admission to do a diploma in information technology, but I feel A+ is faster to get into the IT world. I need to know what to read, the cost of the exam, just any advice please.

First things first,
What part of IT are you considering? Cos A+ only introduces hardware engineering, windows and networking/security, if you are looking towards pursuing a career in data science/analytics, cloud computing, software engineering and any other field asides the aforementioned, A+ plus would be a wrong turn.
A+ is quite expensive (about 160k) excluding training and material fees.....You will also need to upgrade the certification every three years

Go to COMPTIA's websits and search out the syllabus.

Go to YouTube or similar sites to get relevant A+ materials.

A+ is a triangle of hardware/OS(windows)/networking basics. it will prepare you for small office IT support.
