The CTT+ certification has been retired. No one is allowed to take it any more. If you don't already have it, you will never get it.

I see it all the time on Reddit, and in training classes. I've seen students take Security+ and then CISSP with less than two years of IT experience and zero cybersecurity experience. They feel entitled to a high-paying mid-career job without putting in the work to build foundational knowledge and experience. They want to cut corners, and move to the penthouse with minimal effort.

It doesn't work like that. It never has, and it never will. You've got to build your experience and skills one step at a time, one day at a time, one year at a time. There are no shortcuts.

Hi Everyone,

I’m P. Divakaran, an IT instructor with experience teaching hardware and software troubleshooting. I’m planning to earn the CompTIA CTT+ certification to enhance my teaching credentials. I’d appreciate your guidance on:

The best resources for studying TK0-201 and preparing for the TK0-202 video submission.
Tips for recording and submitting a video for the performance-based exam.
Any personal experiences or insights about the exam process, particularly the online proctoring option.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Thank you precious for these instructions!!!

By the way, did you by chance attend that last Security+ TTT?
Do you also by chance know where I can go to view that TTT, so that I can later gain access to the CertMaster items that accompany that session?

Yes Sec+ TTT has an access code still valid........N+(expired).....DataX......Cloud+ to mention a few

After looking at the objectives for a CompTIA exam, if the learner feels that he/she has enough of a knowledge foundation to pursue studies for that exam, I say let him/her have at it!!!

If we're talking about individuals at least of voting age, I have to assume that they have learned to be honest with themselves, and that they have a genuine interest in pursuing and achieving goals.

If you had sort of an informal/casual interview with the person, and your assessment is that the individual would be best served to take a certain path, then by all means I feel you should encourage the individual to follow your prescription. If the individual chooses to ignore your recommendation, you've performed your commitment as an Educator/SME, and you can sleep well at night - at least I could

Okay, I'll stop here!!!

Sure, they might finish, but they’ll probably wish they had the right gear and preparation by mile 5.

A student reach out to me asking about getting the Sec+ certification. They attempted the Net+ exam and failed (scoring a 518). They asked if they can 'skip' over the Net+ and go straight for the Security +. My response was a resounding no. The student did explain that they've completed their associates degree in IT and they're not working in the profession yet.

I encouraged the student to seek their A+ first. Is it just me, or are students 'jumping the line' for higher certifications. Particularly, without the requisite knowledge, training, or real world experience that aid in learning and progressing.

To the fellow CINers, what's your take on this.

Oh, bless their ambitious hearts! Skipping Net+ to go straight for Sec+ without a solid foundation is like trying to build a penthouse on a shaky first floor—it’s a bold move, but gravity always wins.

I would explain to the learner: A+ is your initial kit, Net+ is your strong ladder, and Sec+ is the ceiling with a fantastic perspective of cybersecurity principles. You're attempting to climb the ladder without it. Last I looked, IT professionals don't employ superpowers; they use reasoning.

I often go to the dentist - twice a year!
I often go the grocery store - once a week!
I often go to my refrigerator - 30 times a day, when I'm home!

What is often

.. Because I never seen one in A+ so can't confirm as always

Hello CINners,

The above pic is a partial snapshot of Task Manager, in a Windows 10 environment.

Either that "Search Background Task Host" process, or that "Search" process, is ALWAYS in a "suspended" state.
Anybody got a clue as to why that is?

Also, that "Microsoft Store" process that appears in that same snapshot always cranks up when I boot my machine.
Why does that bad boy kickoff?

As a famous person once asked: Why? Why!? Why?'
Who was that person

Always a time for a little trivia, even when taking care of serious business!!!

Okay CINners, that's all I've got for this episode of "Why Does This Do That?"
