Hoping it will be a bit lighter, will have to win it over with no doubt.And just think, sometime later this year you'll be able to sit for the new SY0-801 exam!

Personal growth.The first time around that is a tough one! Congrats!
Is this for personal growth, or are you preparing to start teach Security+ content?
I concur. I earned over 60 different certifications, mostly paid for by employers, because I thought it would help me in two ways:Shea is sooo right here. Before picking up a new certification, you should consider how and when you'll need to recertify to maintain it.
Good evening, @Stephen Schneiter. Could you please check it when you get time?@Abu Afza, yes, I will take a look to see what I can find out.
Congratulations!Excited to announce that I’ve passed the CNX-001!
Thank you, @Stephen Schneiter and the CIN, for making this possible.
And just think, sometime later this year you'll be able to sit for the new SY0-801 exam!After a long study hour and sleepless, nights I finally passed security plus the exam was supper tricky.
Shea is sooo right here. Before picking up a new certification, you should consider how and when you'll need to recertify to maintain it.Unless your going to get paid for it. I wouldn't recommend doing certifications "just because". If there is a company hiring a certain skill or your doing consulting and their required for a certain job. Ok, but just getting certs for the sake of it. It's a waste of money and time...time being the most important.
Or AWS stuff if you really want to work in the cloud!We can always go off the rails and start doing Azure stuff...
(that's what I'm doing anyway...LOL)

Dude, fantastic signature! I grew up reading SH, and that is one of the main things I attribute most to wanting to specialize in this industry when I heard it was a thing.We can always go off the rails and start doing Azure stuff...

It's a waste of money and time...time being the most important.My org budgets "premium" training opportunities for IS staff every-other year and this year it's my turn. I have a couple SANS certs (GCIH, GCPN) already and while I love SANS and think they're great, would really like to diversify my skill set.
I've been looking into the possibility of training with other orgs like OffSec, Hack-the-Box, Arcanium, and Antisyphon (a personal favorite). I love HtB but feel like their certs might be too new for industry-wide recognition if I need to look for employment. I hear OffSec is fantastic but very difficult and that Arcanium is great training (but doesn't offer certs).
For those who would start with "depends on what you're looking to do...", I am looking for a mix of great training and ideally would love to add a cert or more to my resume.
I would love to get some advice from those who have experience training with those and/or other orgs please! What are your success or horror stories?
Flag on the play...unnecessary foul. We don't say the M word out loud. Ughhh...We can always go off the rails and start doing Azure stuff...

Congratulations KabeloAfter a long study hour and sleepless, nights I finally passed security plus the exam was supper tricky.
It is typically a few weeks after the cutoff date for watching on-demand. I am hopeful for early August myself given past experiences.
