While A+ is considered a very very basic certification, it will help get you in the door the first time around. If you've got absolutely no experience to your name in the IT field, it will be helpful. It shows you studied and have learned some things about IT, you aren't totally useless. There is a big difference between "No IT experience" and "Doesn't know USB from HDMI". A+ will help push you over that level of scary lack of knowledge. Once you're in the field and have some experience, then it's not terribly helpful. Same is true of any basic end certificate. Though some companies do require such things for insurance or compliance reasons.
