Dear folks,
I was sharing the information about renewing Network+ (N10-009) certification using CEUs with my class, and noticed the required CEUs are missing on the website.
(Has the required CEUs changed for the current exam?)
I attached a screenshot of the previous version N10-008 below.

Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

So, I finally am getting caught up on things. It's been a wild ride this month as try to keep Anthology from slowly taking over my life.
What I see, first of all, is that the Essentials series is not for established IT specialists. This was brought up a few years ago at CompTIA Summit (I want to say...Chicago) that established a need for skills training BEFORE that of the like of Tech+, even. The word of the day is "Tech Adjacent", And the fact that it's coming up out of CompTIA Spark, which seemed to be angled towards Secondary (middle/high) school students, tells me that the scope is decidedly not for the IT specialist - someone where even Tech+ may be too much a challenge, but needs to know some basic technical knowledge. Where the lot of us in CIN are somewhere in the Blue to Black part of this model, there are undoubtedly instructors that are to the left of that.
How many of you IT types know how to do a VLOOKUP or a Pivot Table?
Exactly the point.
I remember an old IT instructor who used to work for me back in the day who would recount stories of "teaching computer skills to old dirt farmers in the Midwest". I'd see this as on-par to that.
CompCerts - Seems like something that came up out of the old LabSim products where you'd get a "Pro" cert from completing one. I don't disagree with these - good low hanging fruit for those who need early confidence building.
Objectively, the way I see the "essentials" thing, depending on how the effort is marketed and promoted, it might have some traction. Sure, there are a thousand different products in the pre-tech training space so CompTIA is jumping into that pool. It's really not that much different than CompTIA Certmaster being one choice/alternative for IT Professional training.
