Cloud Essentials+ retires on September 25, 2025

I was thinking that on the list would be Storage+ -- one I wish was still available. If anyone has the study material for that please let me know, I would find it relevant and helpful.
I considered Storage+ but never got around to taking the exam. I also took the computer-based exam for CTT+ but never submitted the video portion.

Cloud Essentials+ retires on September 25, 2025

The three retired certifications that I earned were the i-Net+, CDIA+, and DHTI+.

The CompTIA i-Net+ certification was designed to validate the technical knowledge and skills needed for entry-level Internet and e-commerce roles. It focused on fundamental Internet concepts, including infrastructure, development, and security, and was a vendor-neutral certification. The i-Net+ exam was designed to help individuals enter the Internet industry and demonstrate their entry-level skills to potential employers.

The CompTIA CDIA+ (Certified Document Imaging Architect) certification was a globally recognized credential validating competency in document imaging and management. It demonstrated expertise in planning, designing, and specifying document imaging solutions, including enterprise content systems.

The CompTIA DHTI+ certification, formally known as the CEA-CompTIA Digital Home Technology Integrator certification, was a vendor-neutral credential validating a home technology professional's skills in configuring, integrating, maintaining, and troubleshooting electronic and digital home systems. It aimed to recognize expertise in areas like networking, audio/video, security, and home automation.
I was thinking that on the list would be Storage+ -- one I wish was still available. If anyone has the study material for that please let me know, I would find it relevant and helpful.

I took and passed both Cloud Essentials+ and Cloud+. If I remember correctly, Cloud Essentials was more for business leaders and cloud 'newbies'
If CompTIA is coming out with Business Essentials and AI Essentials etc, I am not sure why Cloud Essentials would be dropped from that pathway.

A wonderful Hands-on CompTIA Linux plus Training in Malawi - 19th -23 May 2025

I would like to share that we had a wonderful training here.

We initially advertised for a CompTIA security + for specific dates. Corporate clients came and suggested their timelines which we have accommodated.
one client asked for Linux plus, cause they use Linux on their servers. We called for assistance here at CIN, and we finally agreed with Brian Wafula from Kenya who we invited to Malawi for in situ Linux plus Training.

This client was very happy, because of how well Brian 'hammered' the lessons.

We also thank Grace our Account Manager from CompTIA in South Africa, for the support she gave us, she was swift to assist when we faced some challenges. she has been and is giving us good support.

Thanking all CINERS who came forth for support, and suggestions on period. In fact we have agreed to support them online for a specific timeline to fully gain the confidence to sit for exam.

Thanks Thanks

CompTIA A+ Subject Matter Experts Needed

If someone was an SME for the exam itself, either by assisting on the Job Task Analysis or Item Writing, then the NDA prevents them from working on some commercial product related to the exam.

If someone is a technical trainer who was not an SME for the exam, the NDA only states that we cannot divulge actual exam content. We can create commercial products related to the exam.
Stephen,

I just finished the TTT for A+ Core 1. Will I get the exam voucher soon, or will I have to wait until the end of the Core 2 series?

Would it be possible to get exam vouchers for Project+ because I am about to finish the on-demand videos?

Thanks in advance.

Cloud Essentials+ retires on September 25, 2025

This makes the fourth CompTIA certification I've earned that has been retired.
I studied for and earned Cloud Essentials+ back when it was first offered. I had been preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam and was ready to set the date when I learned of Essentials. I took both on the same day and passed both. In my opinion, Cloud Essentials was the better exam. AWS Cloud Practitioner covers some of the same ground but focuses on the candidate's AWS product decoder capabilities. Cloud Essentials has links to Network+ and Security+. I later earned Cloud+, which covered many of the same objectives with better connections to AWS, Azure, and GCP. That's the Cloud+ advantage. It covers aspects of all major CSPs.

New cert: SecOT+

Anyone heard of this one yet? I don't see draft objectives posted on the CompTIA site yet. Definitely interested in more info!

Yes. I believe that this new course will cover the Purdue Model for ICS.

See: https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/Infra_Topic_Paper_4-14_FINAL.pdf and

Many people work for utilities for which our Security+ objectives are not a good fit. We mention Bastion hosts, jump servers, and SCADA, but we could do better.

CompTIA A+ Subject Matter Experts Needed

Humm, I think your request would violate our NDA we hold with CompTIA.
If by SME, we're not referring to those that are part of the CompTIA Subject Matter Expert program, I would agree.

But apart from that, as long as the content isn't compromising the content of an exam, I'd say this is a good request for any current instructor.

Anyone remember the long-retired Mobility+ certification back in the days of BlackBerry and the rise of Exchange ActiveSync?
Wow, honestly, the first time I've heard of it, I'm sure CompTIA will come up with a Banana+ certification if the trend moves to using bananas to hold server room doors open :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

CompTIA A+ Subject Matter Experts Needed

I'm looking for CompTIA A+ subject matter experts to review content to ensure it meets the new CompTIA certification standards. If you are interested, please respond to this thread or email me at [email protected].
Humm, I think your request would violate our NDA we hold with CompTIA.
