Nice one. But I won’t place DataSys+ above Data+. I believe they are all unique at their levels and based on interest and career pathways.

After taking both, I would. Data+ is more general and much easier than the DataSys+.

I wanted to follow up regarding my request to update my email for my CIN membership. It’s been some time since I initially reached out, and the change still appears to be pending.

Did you open a Ticket via Support, or just emailed Stephen to change it? Since he is Director, he should be able, but the normal Process should be to open a Ticket, that then might be assigned to Stephen internally. That is, what i would do.

Posting was a comedy/ satire from Jeff Strain. Nothing serious. but it Reminds me of the Show "Herman's Head" from the 90`s...

What you have to pay is, when is the Cert Fee due do renew. I had the Problem once, that i renewed to early, that Cloud+ was not in the Window. So i payed for CASP, and then had to pay for Cloud+ again. Had i waited four more weeks, the renewal would have incl. Cloud+ as well.
So you have to check the Dates by yourself. When renewal starts, and what is the window for renewal.

Well, I have to now see what happens with me, I know that the CASP+ renews Pentest+, & CySA+..... Cloud+ renews Linux+, .... My A+, Network+ Security+ and Server+ are lifetime so I don't have to worry about them. But seeing your screenshots makes me wonder if I have to pay fees for both CASP+ and Cloud+ and how many CEU's will be really required because you don't find much overlap on things you can use for both certs. This makes it feel a little like a money pit.... If my boss keeps giving me free vouchers then no worries, I just take Security X and the new version of Cloud+ and pay the fees. It seems like the most economical solution to keep renewing the certs..... I need to renew Cloud in October 2027 and for those of us that have CASP+ CompTIA explained that we will become Security X certified automatically so that means if the new cert change drops on January 2025 I'll be home free till 2028. Only fees.

For a bit of IT comedy... My brain translated "how busy stephan is" to a todo task... Spit out clone AIs of Stephen. I am sure CompTIA is already actively working on this so I will put it at the bottom of my infinite list that AI will accomplish for me by next week .

Can I be included also?

Oh, so they charge you 25 extra for the Data+ cert! Wow..... But why for A+, they explain that CySA+ renews all the cybersecurity pathway backwards Pentest, Security, Netowrk, A..... strange...... Like I said, CompTIA needs to review this system......

Click to expand...

My understanding is the advanced should cover/include the other (Data+, A+, etc) but it looks like it does not. Also, renewing may not be the same as maintenance. Then again, maybe I am paying something I do not need to. I just paid all my others and am trying to understand CompTIA. With my other certifications, it is easier to know when and what maintenance to pay. CompTIA... I am confused and not sure I am doing it right.

While you're checking, I've not received mine yet, either. Thanks!

From past expierence: 4-8 weeks, depending on good the Data is of the attendance records (email address matches CIN Accounts), if there are errors and for sur:, how busy stephan is. He needs to check the data, internal review, order vouchers and so on.. and since there are two other TTT running this month, and Datasys is not send out, it may be this year. but maybe not.. But that is my guessing from expierence.

Okay,

Even if this is not the correct answer, it is the way the system appears to work...


It looks like you are charged $75 per year. This shows for me the last 3 years. So, that is what I am paying becuase it is requesting me to pay it. This is not what my understanding is of what should be done.


On a side note... Fullfillment - sending of the paper certifications. Each time you are required to validate your address, I think. I just validated my address and looks like they are all being sent. Unless someone at CompTIA noticed my comment above.


I have done multiple certifications every year and it looks like you still are expected to pay a certification fee, but no clue what happens if you do not pay.

I hope this information in helpful.

Hello Alex, I will take a look. There could be several reasons it did not come through the data team.

I have not received mine also.

Hi @Stephen Schneiter
May I request to also check mine. I sent you an inbox last week.

I've been monitoring my email for the voucher and not received as today. Can you inform when will it be available?

Nope...no survey. TX.AG says "No Page"

The slide decks are missing a lot of lessons covered on the website. I am currently teaching module 12 and I have worked throughout the course in the slides adding my own content to cover those gaps. Watchout for the mistakes, usually in the on the images that were copied from n10-008. Some labs are also wrong. I have reported, but unfortunately, not even an acknowledge note from CompTIA

Kudos!
How much time is given and how many questions?

I started to teach this course in late July, recently released. CertMaster Perform has live labs that CertMaster Learn does not have. Interesting labs since they use VM environments for students to get hands on practice. Some of these labs are about 45 mins to 1 hour in length.
If you get early access as an instructor, you will see this difference in the course content. (Live labs start until module 6). Instructor materials and lesson planning are also included.

Jumping into this now as well. I have missed out on all the Voucher dispersements since becoming a member and I think it is a e-mail issue. I did talk with Stephen once about it, he asked for the e-mail address, so I think that is the route to go. Might be worth inquiring to him about starting a new thread specifically for membership problems?
