Content for Cysa+ CEU's ?

My Cysa+ is set to expire in Dec. and I have my CEU's for the SecurityX TTT and 15 hours of conferences. I had intended completing the SecurityX exam now but best laid plans.
Can anyone make in recommendations for suggestions as to training that will be credited?

I am no longer doing the Cisco track so I am looking at either,

CERTMASTER LABS FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs
or
CERTMASTER LEARN FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs

Has anyone got any sugguestions?

Thanks
Greg Porter
Those CertMaster credits can be used to renew your Security+ certification. They won't count at all for CySA+.

You can earn up to 15 hours from webinars. I doubt they will accept Security+ TTT, considering that it's a lesser certification.

So that puts you at 15 out of 60 hours.

Try earning a non-CompTIA cert for the rest.

THIS GLADINGS AND WARMS MY HEART NOW, BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO ASK THAT I ONLY RECEIVED VOUCHER FOR CORE 1, WHEN AM I TO GET CORE 2 VOUCHER...

CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 passed

Congratulations, but did your certificate shows you pass as a trainer, or a certified trainer or is just shows you're A+ certified?

When you scheduled for your exam is there any specific exam for trainers or is the normal 1200 series A+ ? ?
It just shows that you're A+ certified. CompTIA does not have any distinction that shows someone is a trainer.

New Academy Administrator Seeking Guidance on Platform Access and Free Courses

I am the newly appointed administrator for the CompTIA Academy at our institution. I was recently added to the CIN and now have access to the https://platform.comptia.org portal.

I am writing to request your guidance on how to begin using the platform effectively. Specifically, I need help understanding the initial steps to:
  1. Create classes for my students.
  2. Add my students to these classes.
Furthermore, I am inquiring about the availability of free fundamental-level courses for my students. At our institution, we also have academies for partners like Cisco and AWS, which provide free course access for students to learn and earn certifications and badges. I would like to know if similar opportunities exist through the CompTIA Academy program to help my students get started on their CompTIA certification path.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I am eager to resolve this and begin delivering CompTIA courses to my students.

Have you EVER heard of or used the tac command?

Honestly, I’ve never really used “tac”, even though I know it exists — probably because I’m not a big fan of “cat” in the first place (sorry, cat lovers).
Instead, I’m more of a “less” person. Why? Because it lets me search, scroll forward, AND go back — basically, it’s like having superpowers in the terminal.
And the best part? “less” sneaks in a bunch of vi-like tricks. So if you’re already comfortable with vi (or vim for the cool kids), you’ll probably join me in the Team Less fan club.

Ditto here, and I'll write that exam soon.
On a related note, I wish the A+ exam came with letter grades instead of scaled scores…

That way, we could all look forward to conversations like:

Person 1: I just passed A+!
Person 2: Awesome! Which test did you take?
Person 1: A+.
Person 2: Yeah, I got that. Congrats! But which exam?
Person 1: The A+ exam.
Person 2: Okay, so you aced the A+?
Person 1: No, I got a B+ on the A+.
Person 2: Wait… so you didn’t get an A+ on A+?
Person 1: Right.
Person 2: So what did you get?
Person 1: A B+.
Person 2: On the A+.
Person 1: Exactly.
Person 2: That feels… mathematically illegal.
Person 1: Tell me about it. I was hoping for an A, at least.
Person 2: On A+?
Person 1: No, just an A. Not an A+.
Person 2: But you took A+.
Person 1: Yes, and got a B+.
Person 2: But not an A+?
Person 1: That would’ve been ideal. But I’ll take a B+ on A+.
Person 2: So you passed.
Person 1: With a B+.
Person 2: On the A+?
Person 1: Yes!
Person 2: Okay, now I’m confused. Did you get an A+ in A+ or a B+ in A+ or an A in B+ or—
Person 1: I didn’t take B+! That’s not even a thing!
Person 2: So what’s the next cert?
Person 1: Thinking of going for Network+.
Person 2: Let me guess—you want an A on Network+?
Person 1: No, I want an A+ on Network+.
Person 2: But you already got a B+ on A+!
Person 1: Exactly.
Person 2: …I need a drink.
😂 this seems like an AI-generated A+ joke.
