i want to get a A+ certification

[BustersTech]

i am only 14 and i was wondering if there is a age limit to get a A+ certification. I know almost everything about computers so i wanted to get my A+ certification because it would look really good on a job application that i got it when i was 14

So, you know "almost everything about computers," yet you don't know how to Google?

A+ certs now expire every 3 years. You will have to retake this cert before you are even 18 and can be employed with the knowledge.

If you're intelligent, anyone trying to employ you will be able to tell, they don't need to see that you wasted your time getting an A+ cert before you were even eligible to be hired. Nevermind the fact that your cert would expire before you can even get a job.

And even then, nowadays most IT jobs want you to at least graduate college, so getting an A+ cert and being fresh out of high school doesn't even matter because the only job you're likely to get with just an A+ cert is a GeekSquad job at Best Buy.

And another thing, the IT field is FIERCELY competitive. When you're out there hunting for a job, there are going to be people out there that have graduated in college, and have multiple certificates under their belt.

TLDR, wait until after college before you pursue your certifications.
