Its A+. I have that one ( & Network+ and a bunch of other vendor certs).
Look into the Exam Prep books. They're pretty good. Don't count on making big bucks with it. The A+ is good starting point. Once you get it, try to get into a tech shop(i.e. - CompUSA or some other shop). Experience is invaluable.

They sometimes offer classes at local schools or computer stores. You might ask around. You gotta work your butt off to get that certification and you will be tested over retarded crap that you will never use. I was told it costs 100 bucks to take the test... better pass

Yes there is stuff that you may never use. But its a vendor neutral certification so they have to cover everything.
Anyhow, check www.bamm.com or www.amazon.com.

Good luck. I'm going for MCSA next (and MCSE hopefully). Microsoft's tests are tough....
