Agree--I took it last year so I could better help my students prepare for the exam. It's a great on-ramp experience for their first cert exam.

OMG. Another name change to keep up with.

Yeah, changing the name of certifications over and over and over, to me, is just confusing for people who actually need to understand what the certification is about. I see this more of a Marketing thing, trying to capitalize on the "AI" buzz. Yes, there is a closer draw with Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and all that with Data management - no dispute there.

But now the question is, is DataAI an "expert" level or not? Those who know the cert, yes, can answer the question. But a couple years ago, there seemed to be this push to make "+" certs more for practitioners and "X" certs for Experts. Now it's a bit more obfuscated.

And changing the name of a cert does have a big effect on taking away its market recognition - in a time when I think CompTIA has to maintain that for its own survival.

We're living in an oversaturated hype era of AI. And a lot of it is filled with errors.

That's the annoying thing about Skynet; it's the latest tech cash cow, which, is proving to be very expensive as well.

First, review the exam objectives so that students have an idea of what to expect on the exam. Second, CompTIA has all of these resources built into CertMaster (if you have access), such as lesson plans to help build out your learning model, because everyone's will be different. They even have pacing plans.

Spot on.

Also, @fredjclaus, keep an eye here in the CIN for Sneak Peeks and Train the Trainer webinars - they give you a look at upcoming content from CompTIA as it's coming out.

Remember that with the general six month overlap between certification versions, you should have plenty of time to make curriculum adjustments and get them approved through your Academics department. Once you can pick up a good cadence for that, it's usually pretty easy to do.

I am interested. I am currently CompTIA instructor in a collage, Ontario, Canada.
