There is an assessment test, 104 questions and you need to get 52 right. They'll let you start training with the promise that you'll get your A+ by the end of the initial training, which is four weeks. They will reimburse you for the cost of your A+ exams. I found out that's the only exam they're _currently_ reimbursing for, but after 90 days the tuition reimbursement is $2100 a year and can be used towards Linux+ prep classes, etc. Also, they're negotiating something with Dell to try and set us up to get Dell certified also. Email me if you're interested, I had dinner with the HR girl tonight and she's figuring out when to start the next training wave this weekend. When I was hired they gave me a month to wrap things up at my old job before I started training on Sept. 5th. So depending on the training start date you might have 2 months or more to actually get your A+. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want me to refer you directly to HR.

Currently, I believe they farm it out to Linux Care. Anyway, I believe we're hiring another 180 techs (must have A+ or be able to get it by the end of the initial 4 week training period) and the pay is up to $18.50/hour. I get a $1000 referral bonus if you stay 120 days, so I'd split that with anyone who's interested too. I'll give anyone the info either way, just hit me up off-list.
