Ask HN: Best CompTIA A+ study resource?

I’ve got a friend interested into IT and working on getting a CompTIA A+ certificate. My route into tech didn’t include any certification (outside of my BS), so I know embarrassingly little about it… does anyone know what the best resource I can recommend to her for studying would be?

I question the value of such certificates. Employers want to see actual experience and/or a CS degree. A profusion of worthless certifications devalued all of them. Some, like AWS and Oracle, have some value but again only in addition to real experience.

I'd like to know if companies regard the certification. I got it, didn't seem to be noticeable to employers.
