CIN TTT Series: DataSys+ V2

Join us for CIN TTT series covering CompTIA DataSys+ V2 certification! @Stephen.Patton will lead us through the ten-session series covering the exam objectives and provide hands on examples as you strengthen your database management 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.

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.

  • Question
AI Fundamentals Final Assessment Scheduling

Hello CIN Community,

I recently enrolled in a CompTIA CompCert course through the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) after attending the AI Fundamentals Webinar.

During the enrollment process, I was asked to select an institution for the CompCert exam. However, my university was not listed among the available institutions, so I selected another institution that may not currently be operational or may not be able to schedule the exam. I have completed the course waiting for my exam to be scheduled in the assessment tab. I have added a screenshot of exam assessment.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation:

  • What options are available if the selected institution cannot schedule the CompCert exam?
  • Can a CIN member select a different active/operational institution, including one located outside their country, to facilitate or schedule the exam?
  • If this is allowed, which institution should I select?
I would be grateful for any guidance or experience you can share.
Thank you!

I am in the same boat. I am not sure what happened and why there has been no response. Multiple emails, direct message on here and the Q & A for the last sneak peek I got a response that it would be looked into. That was the last I heard anything. For those saying be patient and explaining the process, that’s exactly why we are posting here to try and get some clarity. We are coming up on 2 months since it was posted that they were sent and there have been a large number of other users stating they never received theirs either. I too have all of the proof of attendance from every session all done on the day of the sessions themselves.
