Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

Hi everyone,

I'm teaching A+ right now, so I have access to the Excel doc through the Resources to see the different ways I can set up how we teach the class and the time frame we'd like to work with. Another bootcamp hired me and wants me to suggest some schedules for them. I don't have access to the Net+ and SEc+. Is there a means to get the Excel doc for those other two certifications?

Thanks!

Passed SecurityX CAS-005

SecurityX renews PenTest+, CySA+, Security+, Network+, and A+. It DOES NOT renew Cloud+, Data+, or any other CompTIA certifications.

Thank you. This is a perfect example of why AI has to be prompted to check its accuracy and why one should switch between chatbots to confirm answers. Thank you!

Passed SecurityX CAS-005

I'm looking forward to passing this exam. If the following AI answer is accurate, this cert will renew my A+ and Network+. This is the AI Answer:
  • If you currently hold A+ (1101/1102) and you renew SecurityX, your A+ will be renewed to the latest active version (currently A+ 1201/1202).
  • You do not need to retake the newer A+ exams. The CE program automatically updates your certification status to the most recent release.
  • This applies across the stack: renewing SecurityX cascades down to A+, Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, PenTest+, CySA+, Data+, etc.

Extend Certmaster Access from This Past Linux+ TTT?

@Stephen Schneiter Is there any way possible to extend access to Certmaster for Linux+ from the TTT to like 12/31/2025? Many of us activated early (not knowing it would cut off quickly) and I want to be able to finish but the cutoff is 12/13/2025. I want to make sure I'm learning exactly what my students will experience on the Certmaster platform. I'm almost done, but need a little more time (like some others who joined the TTT session).

Is this possible at all?

Do the Linux+ vouchers seem possible before New Years?
Sometimes you get stuck in some unforeseen tasks or extra work :(
Really hope there is a way to extend access to courses.

Linux+ Exam Voucher

You might be able to open the link to the last session, and if you're using the same account as before, it should recognize you and show your completion certificate for that session. I'm not sure how long those are available after completing a session. But usually if I revisit a session I've already watched, my certificate is still there.

Passed SecurityX CAS-005

I passed the SecurityX exam this morning. I passed the CAS-004 back in April 2022.

It's a challenging, comprehensive exam. I had 88 questions. 4 PBQs and 1 VM question.

Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

I don't think the original question was answered. I read the OQ as "is the certmaster ebook the same as the original and will it include the slide deck i am looking for". I don't think the question was looking for a printed book. I may be wrong, but I think it was a yes/no question.

Need a Gift Idea - Be sure to SKIP this one

What’s sad is people know they are the product and they still use the freebie. It’s as if they don’t care anymore.
You're right about that, pally. That's why the social media companies rake in tons of cash while taking your most valuable asset - your time, while doom-scrolling the AI slop and half-baked narcissistic content from twenty-somethings who aren't smart enough to get IT certifications.
