CloudNetX

I hope @Stephen Schneiter will soon give detailed information about that certification.
Hi @Fanuel, CloudNetX is scheduled to launch in Q1 of 2025. I have been told that final exam objectives will be available tentatively in October 2024. We will host a Sneak Peek around that time as well. We will announce that as we get closer to that time and have a confirmed date for the objectives. Sorry, I cannot provide more detail at this time.

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

Interesting that you ask...
The answer is already in the hyperlinks you provided. :unsure:

Got any specific question in mind?
Hi Jarrel,

This is my initial planning (and based on it, I believe I'm on the right track). However, other strategies (not so conventional) such as submitting to other certifications that, in addition to offering credits for renewing those I have already achieved, can deliver very interesting skills and abilities or even provide a unique combination! That's why I made this post. &;-D

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

Hello everyone, everything good?

I have CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and in view of the growing number of certifications (as I intend to obtain more), I need to carry out planning to minimize costs and efforts for future renewals. For example, as soon as I took Security+, A+ and Network+ were automatically renewed. I also intend to obtain Linux+ and Cloud+ certifications, but I saw on the official page that the latter only has A+, Network+ and Linux+ certifications, leaving Security+ out. However, I also learned that non-CompTIA certifications can also be used to earn CE credits to renew equivalent CompTIA certifications (as I have AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Cisco CCNA and CyberOps).

In short, I intend to do the following:
  • Renew A+, Linux+ (which I'm still going to take) and Network+, by submitting to the Cloud+ exam;
  • Renew Security+, through Cisco CCNA CyberOps renewal (which I took almost 1 year after Security+).
If you can give me more tips and recommendations I would appreciate it! &;-D

  • Question
When Can we Purchase Learn, Labs & Practice for the CompTIA Network+N10-009

Good morning,

I'm curious: on what day can we purchase CertMaster Learn, Labs & Practice before the launch date for Network+ N10-009?

Also, do we know the date for the TTT for the N10-009?

Thank you, and have a great week!

Using dd to duplicate disks

There isn't a way to run MD5 (or any other hashing algorithm) directly with dd.

If you'd like to validate your copy, I'd suggest the following, and visually compare the hashes.

Bash:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progress

$ sudo md5sum /dev/sda
$ sudo md5sum /dev/sdb

for SHA256

Bash:
$ sudo shasum -a 256 /dev/sda
$ sudo shasum -a 256 /dev/sdb

First Time CertMaster Learn and Labs User

Good afternoon. I hope to use the Integrated CertMaster Learn and Labs for Project+ in my IT Project Management college course soon. I found TestOut last year and have integrated the LabSim courseware into a few of our IT courses. The students and faculty love it.

I am beginning my research into setting up CertMaster Learn and Labs and would appreciate any tips/tricks. At first glance, it doesn't appear as user-friendly or intuitive as TestOut LabSim.

Thanks, Chris
Hey Chris! Happy to put you into contact with someone here at CompTIA that provide some guidance as well, can you send me your more detailed contact information (Email, organization, etc.) either here or in a direct message if you would prefer?

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

If you're doing the cybersecurity track, do the certifications in this order so each new one renews all the previous ones.

1, A+
2. Network+
3. Security+
4. CySA+ or PenTest+
5. PenTest+ or CySA+
6. CASP+

CySA+ and PenTest+ are considered to be at the same level. Neither will automatically renew the other, but you can submit one to fulfill the CEUs for the other. It's a manual process, not automatic.

All the other higher level certs renew all previous lower level certs.

I passed all six of those exams in that order, and each new one renewed all the previous ones. Then I passed ISACA's CISM, which renewed my CASP+ and everything underneath it. I passed the CISSP last fall, so technically, I could use it to renew my CISM, my CASP+, and all the lower-level CompTIA certifications.

I have Data+. The only renewal paths for it are passing the next version, passing an authorized non-CompTIA data certification, or continuing education.

I also have Cloud+. I took the beta version for the next version of Cloud+ and am waiting for the results. If I pass, that cert is renewed for another three years.
