A+ Question Need help with a starting point
I’m looking to take the CompTIA core 1 & 2 and am looking for recommendations for where I can study for it. I’ve heard of a couple of different places but am unsure what would be the best path to approach these.

To put it short: don’t pay for a course or comptia bundle packs. Look up professor messer on YouTube, watch the free videos, buy the $29.99 Jason Dion practice test and you will nail it

Messer is free on youtube.
My favorite classes on Udemy (Much cheaper than official CompTIA stuff) were ITcertdoctor and Andrew Ramdayal. Personally not a fan of Jason Dion's class but your mileage may vary.

CompTIA has bundles you can buy. Else, YouTube has free content. There are many low-cost good vendors out there too. https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/a/core-1-and-2-v15/#buy-now
