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.
Have a nice weekend,
Steve

Unfortunately it's all windoze support, but I imagine you could use
it as a
stepping stone to get into doing Linux support for Dell's enterprise
line.
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.
