Join us for a Sneak Peek of the new version of CompTIA DataSys+ V2 certification! @James Stanger and @Stephen.Patton will join us as they introduce the updated certification exam, talk about the need for these job skills and take a deeper look into the exam objectives.

CompTIA DataSys+ is a vendor-neutral certification designed for professionals with approximately 2–3 years of hands-on experience in database administration. The updated DataSys+ V2 validates the knowledge and skills required to design, deploy, manage and maintain databases across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. It ensures candidates can work with relational and non-relational databases, develop and run SQL and basic scripts, monitor performance, and implement security and business continuity best practices.

DataSys+ V2 expands beyond traditional DBA responsibilities to cover data acquisition and integration, scripting and programming concepts, and the impact of ORMs and application code on database performance. The exam tests the ability to secure data at rest and in transit, apply encryption and key management, implement identity and access management (IAM) and Zero Trust concepts, and support backup, restore, disaster recovery and high availability.

In this case, you only get access to the courseware. There is no certification associated with this course, to which you could receive a voucher.

Jill West -- Perfect. Thanks a lot for you confirmation.

That was also my understanding as I wasn't able to find any Certification link in the official CompTIA website.

Thanks a lot for conducting the course. It was really wonderful and gave a lot of insight. And also added to my AI Fundamental knowledge. Couldn't wait to suggest this foundational course to my learners. Thanks a lot again...

Hi All, I just want to check if we are going to receive any certification voucher key for AI Fundamentals? My understanding is that it's a course and there are no certifications attached to it. I wasn't able to find a lot of information.
Any pointers will be helpful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I haven't looked into it, but perhaps some of the higher end AWS or Azure certs might help with some of that? I know Data is relatively new as a pathway, so that may have not matured well enough yet. Just spitballin' here, without a lot of info.

The CompTIA CEU site just redirects back to the main CloudNetX page when you click on the link to see the other certs that provide CEUs.

If there are other certs, CompTIA or otherwise, that provide full or partial CEUs for CloudNetX, I can't find them.

Anyone know someone up the org chart who can provide an answer?

Okay...do you not have the links to the content? They would be in the emails.

...you have to know how to summon the Docker daemon using the sacred Ethernet ritual before the maintenance window closes

You, sir, are in need of prayer. And since I'm taking some ministerial classes these days, I think you need to stop by for a little chat, my friend:

Rick Butler · Wednesday at 10:22 AM

Well done. /r

Rick Butler · Wednesday at 10:21 AM

That would be a good question - I've never explored the Office Pro content, myself. I flirted a bit with the MOU certs before, but never got around to taking one.
