Some thing bugs now about the CERTs now when you write the new exam I wrote 220=1201 220 1202 all these guys have done is increase the date I feel it should have a model number on certificate. It is hard to prove to clients you are training their guys on the latest Certs.

It's easy to prove which version you've passed. It's in your online CompTIA transcript, which you can share with clients or employers.

Although, I still find it completely ridiculous that clients and employers ask which version I've passed for various CompTIA exams. I've passed six different Security+ exams, five different Network+ exams, four different A+ exams, three different CySA+ exams, two different Cloud+ exams, two different Project+ exams, and two different Tech+ exams. And most of my certs are active through 2028 and beyond because of CEUs.

Funny, they never ask me if I have the current CISSP, CISM, CAPM, or CCSK, even though every one of them undergoes version changes.

I'm done. From now on, I'm staying current with CEUs. I'm done retaking exams just because the version changed. I've been taking CompTIA exams for 22 years and they change maybe 10%-15% from one version to the next. Most of the topics in the current versions of A+/Net+/Sec+ were covered on versions that I took 20 years ago. I don't even study when I retest. I just get a voucher and go take the exam and pass it. BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY PASSED A PREVIOUS VERSION. It's not like I suddenly forgot everything since the last one.

Does anyone have a legitimate reason why we should continue to retake CompTIA exams over and over, if we're already staying current with CEUs. Clients and employers don't ask for the latest version of any ISC2, ISACA, OffSec, EC-Council, or GIAC exams, but they insist on doing it for CompTIA exams.

Why?

Hi waiting patiently for exam vouchers and catching up on the A+ TTT sessions have been on holiday in Lisbon, Portugal

You are correct. The vouchers have not been distributed yet. Thank you for waiting patiently while the team works on the process.

Jill West said:

I just received my certificate for passing Tech+. Thanks, CIN and TTT, for the voucher!

Sadly, there was only a certificate and no plastic card to add to my stack. Is this unique to Tech+, or are we losing the cards going forward? I like my collection of red and white CompTIA IDs and want to keep growing the stack!

Heh..usually, whatever I get, I stuff into a binder, put on my shelf, and there it remains. The only card I carry anymore is the first A+ card...which may not be legible anymore. LOL

The decision maker is Stephen Schneiter

Push ASAP u still have got enough time ..

Please @Stephen Schneiter , give us clear explanation about this tech + card.
Somebody like me I got my tech+ certification but no card attached to it.

Congrats on passing the certification! No card for me either when I got my certificate in the mail a few weeks back.

I would like to share that we had a wonderful training here.

We initially advertised for a CompTIA security + for specific dates. Corporate clients came and suggested their timelines which we have accommodated.
one client asked for Linux plus, cause they use Linux on their servers. We called for assistance here at CIN, and we finally agreed with Brian Wafula from Kenya who we invited to Malawi for in situ Linux plus Training.

This client was very happy, because of how well Brian 'hammered' the lessons.

We also thank Grace our Account Manager from CompTIA in South Africa, for the support she gave us, she was swift to assist when we faced some challenges. she has been and is giving us good support.

Thanking all CINERS who came forth for support, and suggestions on period. In fact we have agreed to support them online for a specific timeline to fully gain the confidence to sit for exam.

Thanks Thanks

I was glad to lead the sessions. Thank you @Wezzie Lukhere for hospitality.

Thats what i was wondering as well i only got the Certificate only too..

Jill West said:

It seems to be a lower level of cyber than I would have expected, but perhaps this is appropriate and the exam will mature over time. It also seems to have a lot of generic AI content that is not specific to cyber. I would have expected that content to reside in a foundational AI exam, not an AI security exam. But again, this seems to be a common pattern for CompTIA to start kind of low and let the exam mature through later iterations. It'll be interesting to see how the actual exam translates these objectives into exam questions and (perhaps?) PBQs.

Love your books! They were my first intro to I.T. while at community college.

I honestly can't remember if I received a card for mine or not. After 22 years of earning CompTIA certs, I got rid of all my cards and shoved all my certs in a folder.
