Good morning,
I have finished the Pentest -003 TTT and have not received a Pentest Voucher as of yet. Are they going to be sent out anytime soon? Thanks in advance.

Ohhh... another new cert! Autocode+

It seems like a certification geared towards introductory coding for configuration management (CM) automation and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes and similar technologies in the space).

While these topics have formed the crutch of loosely-defined devops/SRE roles these past 5 years, that space is quickly moving towards one where those roles are now more focused on platform engineering. In other words, modern devops/SREs must understand the dev stack in a lot more depth nowadays, and are called platform engineers as a result (I do this currently).

And that dev stack aspect is missing from the objectives for Autocode+ (but will likely be added in a later version of the certification).

Ohhh... another new cert! Autocode+

Pre-draft objectives are posted for a shiny new cert: Autocode+. And based on its exam code, I'm wondering if this might be the beginnings of a new cert pathway?? I'm not a coder, but this one looks like fun!

Link, and scroll down under the Pre-Draft Exam Objectives section:

Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

Thank you for your feedback. I am currently in contact with Pearson to try to find a point of resolution, but so far it feels like an uphill battle!
It was a hassle for me at that time as well. I made several phone calls and, after some effort, I was finally able to speak with a representative. She informed me that I would need to wait up to 10 business days for someone to reach out. I remember waiting about a week, and then they issued me a new voucher.

In my case, I used the university's fast internet and tested everything according to the instructions prior to the exam. It seems the issue was on their end. I'm not even sure if the proctors were actually based in the US; they may have been located in India.

Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

I've taken dozens on online exams using OnVue since the pandemic and I love it. The last exam I had to take at a Pearson Vue testing center was my CISSP in October 2023, because ISC2 doesn't offer online exams. My home office is set up for virtual training, and it's the perfect testing environment.

Most exam issues were caused by user errors. They didn't read the system requirements or the room setup instructions and then griped when they could've just read and followed the rules.
I also have taken CompTIA's A+, Net+, Project+, and Sec+ without issue. It seems so far it has only been an issue this year for students.

Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

Hello Tanner,

I had a different issue, but it also prevented me from rescheduling my exam, similar to your students' cases. When I attempted to take an online exam about two years ago, the proctor reported that my screen appeared frozen. I exited and rejoined, but the second proctor saw the same issue, and I was unable to proceed. I was advised to reschedule, but my account was marked as "no show," which prevented me from doing so.

I had to contact Pearson VUE (though I don’t recall the number), and while the process was somewhat inconvenient, I received a new voucher within a week. If your students are experiencing the same issue, reaching out to support directly may be the best course of action.
Thank you for your feedback. I am currently in contact with Pearson to try to find a point of resolution, but so far it feels like an uphill battle!
