TDF,

I checked that site and it said I need A+ certification prior to enrolling. I was barely a D student, let alone an A+

Bob,

The A+ certification is like a hardware install/ os install maint. type gig. Let your department know that they either need to hire someone to maintain the network with the proper credentials, or they need to put you through all thr proper training. You A+ is a good bet because it will stay with you and you can always make some spare coin fixing up folks pc's etc. Fair warning fixing peoples pc's is like a bad marriage, when everything is good it GREAT but when stuff hits the fan its a major SPLAT.

If you'll be the only admin you may want to look into some type of security training. Thats what I do for work the security portion feel free to give me a call and if I can help you out or point you in the right direction I will.

Domination takes full concentration..

Thanks, Timber. I tried the "You need to hire" route but that was beating a dead horse. The towns idea was to hire a friend of a friend of a neighbors dog.....let's just say it did not go well.......

Basically, right now, we've got a company that we call when ever there is something I can't handle....which is most of the time. I manage to get us out of a jam from time to time but suggested it was time to improve a little bit. We'll see where they want to go now........

The won't kick you out if you don't have it. But like TT said if your going to be responsible this is a could cert to have....Its what most of us IT guys started with.....Gives you a good foundation to build on.
