I haven't looked into it, but perhaps some of the higher end AWS or Azure certs might help with some of that? I know Data is relatively new as a pathway, so that may have not matured well enough yet. Just spitballin' here, without a lot of info.

Over 70% of my exams have been taken at home using OnVUE. I've never had any problems because I follow the rules strictly. I like the convenience of taking my exam at 3:30 am, without the hassle of driving in Houston traffic. Scheduling is wide open with what seems like limitless open time 24/7. I am keeping my fingers crossed OnVUE never stops this service!.Between the testing sites and OnVUE, there are options for all types!

I don't think I'd be in a good frame of mind to take an exam at 0330. But I guess that's one benefit to OnVUE. I suspect they'll remain out there for folks who can use it.

For me, it's a mindset thing - like when I walk into that test center, it's a frame of mind that says, "okay, Rick, time to prove yourself again."

Just a heads up! I heard from the Marketing team that AutoOps+ vouchers will go out Monday morning, 08/10 in the morning! Be sure to check your spam and blocking filters, and the email account you signed up for the TTT series with (yes it is an issue )! Good luck on the exam!

I've said this before and I know others will disagree, but I don't believe OnVUE is worth the aggravation if you have a test center in close proximity. I know, for some, it's an 'only' option to allow for folks to test, but all the horror stories I've heard over the years, for me, it's not worth it.

Again, might be worth it for others, but the ones that run my nearby test center are friends of mine anyway - they run a good operation, so I happily will give them the business.

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting an update! If you have never been to Def Con, be sure to add it to your list of conferences to attend. This is a great event for instructors, students and IT professionals to brush up on skills! There is so much to do at the event including networking, great talks, workshops and challenging competitions related to cybersecurity. You will learn a lot! Many of the areas and competitions even had learning challenges for kids to earn badges.

It is also a great place for CINners to connect. I got to meetup with Red Team member @Lee McWhorter and was able to hang out with @Hod Berman. I hope next year we can all meetup for CINners in Sin City!!

Hi All, I just want to check if we are going to receive any certification voucher key for AI Fundamentals? My understanding is that it's a course and there are no certifications attached to it. I wasn't able to find a lot of information.
Any pointers will be helpful. Thanks a lot in advance.

Only if you attended the live sessions or if you caught up before the last session concluded as they now only give out access vouchers to those that fall between that window of time.
@Stephen Schneiter may correct me on this, but this is my understanding now

Congratulations, hard work pays indeed.

I'm the opposite. I received the CertMaster materials, but haven't received a voucher yet.

Still waiting on mine
