    Re: GOOD NEWS (kinda)

    Excuse me for playing devils advocate, but, are you certified? Have you any credentials backing you? How much trust could you offer people that you know what you're doing enough to take their item and repair it? If you're not certified or have gotten any schooling (outside of some guy from Iowa that works in a computer repair store) how do I know you can do the job right?

    Ultimately, if you haven't gone to school for this, if you aren't certified, then I don't think it's a good idea, nor a smart one, to start a business doing this. YET. Go to school, do what you need to do, get that done, get your certification, then open your own business. Doing this backwards could cause you to make mistakes that will cost you more than an early business can afford simply because you jumped the gun and didn't do it the right way.

    certified i am not but all the stuff i learned was from someone who is certified to work with apple products and microsoft products also my work isnt like some second hand basement dweller my guarantee is (even when i fix peoples computers at home) if it works fine if it breaks at any time ill fix it for free u pay for the parts which is a hell of a guarantee compared to other computer shops or repairmen and to top it off if i need a part i dont need to order from ebay since my friend is certified i can order through him at a huge discounted price and the final cherry for this ice cream is i will be going to school for my certifications WHILE i work so its win win for all

    Re: GOOD NEWS (kinda)

    For PCs, Comptia A+ Cert, difficult? hahaha nope.avi I also advise you to disregard whatever the cert tells you, it's either inefficient or just stupid, i remember it wanted me to take the entire thing apart to check a cable before just asking the bios, ah good times. It's a multiple choice test that basically entitles you to charge more and you get a nice plastic card to flash like it means something. Now the cert only lasts like 3 years though, mine is permanent because i snagged it before the change, i also have Network+ which basically means i can run cables and build a network to be proud of, combine with the MS certs and diplomas (nvqs) and i am basically a know it all with various titles.

    As for apple products, built for retards, by children, broken by retards, of children; but not repaired by them. I personally will not touch a mac because i might catch the herpa-derp but being certified to repair these products will come in handy, fortunately i don't associate with mac owners so i very rarely even have to look at one.

    You may wish to revaluate your gurantee, remember, the customer is never right (but should be treated as if they are), they are stupid (why else are they not fixing it their damn self?) and unwilling to learn, prey on this, you don't have to do a half assed job but you do have to not overdo it, you go over the top and suddenly your drowning in a sea of excessive workload which will not pay off. I've done more then my fair share of teamviewer sessions, at one point i was going to use a mouse macro to mimic the repetitive clicks, these days i just use images.

    Tell me more of these certification discounts... am i being screwed?

    If you want to know more about the certs let me know, i have some material to make this a breeze, it's not cheating to cheat at these low level ones, they are basically a sticker of competence. try this shit on something like a ccna however and your cert is worthless if you can't back it up, cisco tests are more fun, they have simulators.
    I taught a 9 year old enough to be A+ certed, and his attention span and competence are... not optimal.
