Moonlight

Im a student at a job corps center and they have recently added a A+ certification class to the center. At another center they Have just added cisco certification courses. Im wondering as a newbe in the IT area, which one should I go for, assuming I will only be able to do one ( free of charge including the Tests) ? A+ or Cisco?
