PenTest Vouchers from TTT

PenTest+ vouchers are going out this week. There was an issue with folks having inaccurate information on the ON24 reg form and it caused issues when the data team tried to verify attendees.

In the future, everyone, please check the information you enter on the form, especially your country. Thanks!
Thank you !

To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

…and I wish I had a dollar for every Security+ student I’ve had that did not understand the class C subnet or why DNS exists.

Same thing applies to experienced certified professionals, There is not magic wand , you have to keep learning, earn vendor specific certs , volunteer...etc. 1745528926422.png

To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

I wish I had a dollar for every story I've heard about someone going after their Sec+, CySA+, and PenTest+ with zero experience and no Net+ or A+, only to hear them complain that no one will hire them.

Comptia Academy Student discounts

I was looking for that list as well and it appears to have been removed from the CompTIA partner site. Also the login to the partner site doesn't work anymore, so not sure what's going on there.

CompTIA is currently working on major updates on partner, membership websites, which will be rolling out in the coming months.

So best to know the price, you can just login to the store and directly see the price lists

Seeking input on hiring CompTIA Instructors

I've been charging more than $75/hour for CompTIA training for more than ten years. And I've lived in three different parts of the country. I've made $125/hour for some classes.

Are you comparing independent contract training to university training? I have been offered multiple jobs over the years to work at different colleges and universities, but I politely refused the massive pay cut.
I was looking at the median average for training houses and colleges. And yes, the going college rate is somewhere between 20-25/hr, even if you're going in as Adjunct (which to me is the same). They do get it, though, as there are always someone out there that will take it or nothing at all.

Well,

You're not somewhere where the cost of living is ridiculously exorbitant, say, Southern California?

IT in general is underpaid, in my estimation - particularly for those that bothered to get their Network+ before doing Security+ (lol)
