Speaking of AI I think it would be interesting to see something on use of AI in teaching, I am sure people are already finding some use for it but a more comprehensive overview and/or a case study would be very nice indeed.

Join us for the CIN TTT series covering the next release of the CompTIA CySA+ certification. Our guest instructor, @Nick Pierce , will lead us through the eight-session series covering the exam objectives and provide hands on examples as you strengthen your cybersecurity analysis skills. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

When you have passed an exam, I recall us receiving an email from CompTIA to confirm a few details before they mail a complimentary certification kit. I just saw this on their website:

Is the certification kit no longer free? I remember there was a discussion about the wallet cards being discontinued but not about being charged a fee to receive the physical certificate (unless you received one and then would like to order a replacement certificate).

While certification cards and kits are a thing of the past, people who have earned a CompTIA certification will want to know how to prove that to a prospective employer. An exam score report is not proof that someone earned a certification. Candidates can download and provide an official, secure PDF copy of any individual certification (or all active certifications) directly from their CompTIA (Certmetrics) account. Candidates can also share verifiable digital badges (often through platforms like Acclaim/Credly) that display active status, issue dates, and skills verified.

It just means one extra step in putting a cert into my "i-love-me" book, which is, for me, a 3" three ring binder with every award or achievement since my high school years. I think the first one is my athletic JV letter for Golf....
