I would be happy to help. Let me know if you would like to see a CV.

If you don't mind paying, Mike Chappel has it available and also he has the online training with LinkedIn Learning - they are both great.

I'm sorry Samuel, I'm on CST time 6 hours behind you I am working at that time.

Hello CINers,

I’m happy to share that I have successfully passed the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam today.
A big thank you to @Stephen Schneiter for the exam voucher and for making the CompTIA Instructor Network such an amazing place to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Excited to bring more AI security concepts into my teaching and discussions with learners.

Congratulations

I too am going through the SecAI+ material in CertMaster. My goofiness is…

I do most of my studying during the graveyard shift and I do not log out. I have gone to my desktop computer and discovered something did not work. A simple manual log off and log back in gets me back in the curriculum. I am not getting a pop up telling me activity timed out and I was proactively logged off.

Outside of that, module 1 was dry and left me asking why I was doing this. Now that I am in module 4, the module 1 material makes sense.

You 16:30 BST?

I will stay with the certifications I currently hold. I can renew from SecurityX down to A+, and from Cloud+ to Linux+. This time, I had the opportunity to create and teach college-level courses using the SecurityX material through our partnership with CompTIA. Through that alone, I earned 80 CEUs, so that certification is already taken care of. I had a similar experience with Cloud+. By developing and teaching the course, I earned 40 CEUs. I only need an additional 10 CEUs to complete the requirement, which I may obtain through training with ISACA. With this, I am effectively certified through 2030 once I pay the $150 in February of next year.

My question now is whether teaching a college course can be counted toward CEUs every year, or only once per three-year renewal cycle. If it can be applied annually, it would make it possible to maintain certification primarily through teaching. One of the advantages of our university partnership is that whenever an exam version is updated, I am responsible for obtaining the new content from CertMaster, updating the course accordingly, and then teaching it. This way is guaranteed that I will be teaching the most recent version all the time, so I can get credit for creating materials and teaching.

If you are a CompTIA instructor, speak with your channel partner about gaining access. And as far as I know, CompTIA has stopped providing PDFs in favor of online-only content.

Congrats, that's awesome!

What did you think of the exam?

Thanks! Now I can confidently warn my students what’s coming.

Yes! CompTIA does what it says in exam objectives, for example, 40% Securing AI Systems. At first, from 90 Maximum number of questions in A+, I trusted A plus being harder than it, thought it was easy, which may be easy, but underestimating it, brought me into a surprise attack... The exam launched attacks… I patched my brain in real time. It finally agreed I should pass.

Many thanks for your reply. Around 1630.

@Stephen Schneiter did not receive mine yet. Please assist.

Congrats, that's awesome!

Congratulations on your achievement!

Same question here. Is there a way to get the SecAI+ study guide to help and prepare to pass the certification exam. This will also help to provide more information and guidance to my learners during the class sessions.

Excellent!!!

What times in BST would they be?

I got them both before the switch so I'm good for life.

I did as well, but I think the impetus is to downplay the GFL's in the industry - employers want evidence of current knowledge and experience - so with a certification, that means CEUs to maintain the cert. For CompTIA, well, a better revenue stream for certifications that have to be renewed regularly.

So for those that want to keep that prestige of being certified, well, it's going to be a constant grind.

Honestly, I'm surprised that CompTIA hasn't retired Sever+. It's really got a niche market, since so many things have moved to the cloud.

It does. My guess is that the angle now is for those who build infrastructure, either in traditional IT on-prem servers (for those non-cloud organizations) or private clouds for those who want to play cloud, but with their own hardware. I do believe it's been on the fence - so seeing a CE for it means that CompTIA felt it enough to continue promoting it.

I can see Project+ going the CE route because it has changed a lot over the years.

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.

This is a great suggestion @tir.and! I think we can put something together, maybe get a panel of folks together and present, then get feedback from group. Kind of like building a "best practices" resource and share in CIN.

Congratulations.

yeah i have received mine!
