Are you planning to transfer them to WGU? If so, which degree? If your degree requires the Network+, then I would take whichever one better prepares you for your future course work.

The MTA cert is easier than CompTIA network+ so I would *guess* that the SL course for MTA is easier.

I only need it to complete one course in the WGU BSCS program, but none of the rest of my course work will require the knowledge of networking.
My question is, how much harder is the CompTIA then the MTA cert? Would it not be too difficult? What in particular would make it more difficult then the MTA? Is it just that it has more technical knowledge and terms that you need to know?
The part in the MTA syllabus about the extra 25 points is confusing me. Is the 25 points from taking and passing the MTA exam?
