Demand for CompTIA certs has been limited to A+, Net+, Sec+, and Cloud+. A few people take CySA+, PenTest+, SecurityX, and Project+, but employers don't ask for those certs on job listings. The rest of their certs are low demand from students and no demand from employers. The CompCerts will be fine for people who are pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake on their own dime, but employers aren't likely to pay for a course that doesn't yield a respected certification or add skills directly to their current job role. I think the entire new line of CompCert courses will eventually be retired for lack of demand.

They listed them under "Hottest certifications,"

I stand by my earlier post. CISSP is the second most requested cert behind Security+.

Congratulations on your achievement.

Wow, Registered

I find the list to be highly suspect because it includes the Certified Data Professional (CDP), but doesn't include the CISSP, CISM, or CCIE.

A+ won't get you a higher salary. It's a minimum requirement for entry-level jobs.

There are several 'CDP' certifications. Two that I've had clients ask me about are CDP from IMI which is data privacy and IAM focused. That certification has some steep requirements other than just passing an exam. There is also DAMAs CDMP which is data management focused. That certification has multiple levels from Associate to Master, The reason I point these out is that both offer a low or entry level to the certification. CISSP and CCIE are far from entry level certifications. I think that is the point of the Robert Half Guide. It covers salaries across careers from entry level to more advanced.

Waiting here also ….

I've completed the AI Essentials and the Prompting courses. While there isn't a certificate there is a final assessment and I believe the opportunity to earn a badge. The final assessment isn't at a testing center; it is from CompTIA and is a part of the course. That reduces the cost and I think the learners anxiety level. There isn't a path to a cert here. In my opinion these courses are more about learning in a rapidly evolving field of tech rather than proving that the learner can demonstrate some knowledge.

The challenge for instructors will be to facilitate learning. Working with learners individually and in small groups. I can see offering AI Essentials as a five meeting webinar or seminar where each meeting is 90-120 minutes long. The learners should be doing the reading and activities themselves. The instructors role will be to emphasize high points, answer questions, cover additional materials (web based AI tools like Gemini, NotebookLM, Midjourney, HeyGen, etc,...) , and facilitate discussions amongst the learners about the various topics raised. I hope that organizations purchase this CompCert for their members.

I signed up for the whole series, but I only received emails for 2, 3, 4, and 5. Sessions 1 and 6 did not arrive in my inbox.

There are only 5 sessions. Surprised me as well when I signed up so I double-checked. So used to even numbers.
