Train-the-Trainer for CompTIA Data+ DA0-002

Do any of you know when the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 will be?
Hello @Marais Viljoen, the date for Data+ DA0-002 has not been set yet. The exam is not scheduled to launch until later this year. Once we have more information on the actual launch date, we will begin scheduling the TTT series for it. Stay tuned here in the CIN community for the announcement once finalized.

Security+ and Certified Ethical Hacker Content Overlap

I'll echo what @Gregory Childers said but add more of my observations and context.

Firstly, like it's name and objectives suggest, CEH is more comparable to Pentest+ than Security+ in topic focus.

Secondly, aside from one very biased internship host out east that only hires college grads with CEH, I've found that other employers just don't value EC-Council or CEH.

This makes sense to me because most employers pay for blue team skills - red team is more exciting, but to be honest, pentesting is an advanced skill that takes dedication and time, and only a small subset of cybersecurity workers will get to the point where they could make a living from it, or employ those techniques as part of the job. There are far more blue team job opportunities, and nearly every organization needs blue teamers first and foremost.

That's where Security+ comes in - it's a well-rounded certification that forms the baseline of what every IT professional needs to know today when it comes to both blue and red team concepts (with a bigger focus on blue team concepts). You can then evolve into CySA+ (blue team) or Pentest+ (red team), or CASP+/SecurityX if you want to be a CISO.

One more observation about CEH that I've had is that while some questions are new, others are flat out ancient history - I get the feeling they reuse a lot of older questions on topics and pentesting tools and processes that are long deprecated (it drives me nuts and is not something you'll find on CompTIA exams). It wouldn't surprise me in the least if I got a CEH question on these tools in my repertoire:

CompTIA Security+ Trainer required Nigeria

A CompTIA partner is looking for a certified, experienced trainer to deliver training for a client. They should be certified in Security+ and familiar with official CompTIA tools e.g CM Learn & Labs. DM me with your details if you qualify and I can do an introduction.

I can validate that this is the case. EC council requires you to be certified to teach the content. CEH is way beyond Security+. I think CEH is beyond Pentest+. I have yet to take SecurityX, so I cannot speak to that.
EC-Council has fallen out of favor in the industry.


Multiple charges of plagiarism
Low quality content
Publicly sexist remarks by the founders
Company better at marketing than providing value
Completely overpriced certs

If someone wants to be a PenTester, I'd take PenTest+ first and then the OCSP. That's a MUCH MORE valuable cert than the CEH.

Security+ Unusual Request from Contractor

Hello,

There's a company that reached out to me that was interested in hiring me to teach Security+ as a subcontractor for them when they are able to obtain contracts. I have no problem with that. Today, they contacted me and said they may are negotiating for a client in Costa Rica, and they want to know what the charge would be for the courseware and labs. So I asked them if they were expecting me to bring all that to the table, and they said yes. I'm fine with that. I have an LLC, but it sounds as though I would need to become a CompTIA authorized provider. Does anyone know the process for setting that up, or could perhaps point me in the direction of someone at CompTIA who could advise me?

Thanks!

I have also the SecX, but still you can`t compared them. More Slides, More Content on the CEH, and if you take the Practical: Challening Labs to solve in Real...

Hello @didohawk, welcome to CIN! Thanks for catching that for me. I thought I had posted it in the resource area, but it looks like it was left out. I will get it loaded. In the meantime, here is the link for the SecurityX on-demand series. https://gateway.on24.com/wcc/eh/1119137/category/144278/securityx-001-ttt-series
thank you Stephen for the warm welcome and the help <3

You mean CompTIA

Ethical Hacker Pro or the EC Council Ethical Hacker?​

For the EC CEH you have to be an authorized Instructor for the Course and pass the Exam first. Otherwise you will not be allowed to train an official Course (and students can`t take the Exam). CEH is much more content then Sec+.
First Sec+, then CEH if you asked me.
But if you do not have attended the CEH, it still is a lot of content..

Let me know if you have more questions. I teach them both often.
