Over the last 25 years, the overwhelming majority of the exams that I've taken were because I had free vouchers. I did pay for my CISSP and CISM, and they were worth every penny.

Most of my exams were either vouchers or extreme discounts... as we are MCTs I think we pay 25% of the regular rate. All of my CompTIA exams and ISC2 exams were vouchers. I agree though... the CISSP (which I don't have yet, but I did pass the exam and am waiting for the Endorsement process) is worth every penny!

Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

Good Morning Bien:

You should have gotten an instructor's access code. When you claim that in CertMaster Learn, on the left side, there is a link for "Resources" where the PowerPoints are located. There is other great information and resources in there too.

thank you for your quick response. There is no "Resources", here is the image.hXlJAPBJaX.png

Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

B
Hi everyone,

Was wondering where I can access the PDF for the Instructor Guide and the Official PowerPoint slides for Training.
How do we usually get these materials? Are they provided after enrollment, or do we need to request them separately?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance!

Having both the Project+ and the CAPM, I'd say that the Project+ need some development before anyone would consider it on equal footing with the CAPM. The training content for Project+ is scattershot and flows poorly. The exam has much less rigor than that of the CAPM. I think it can be a much better certification if CompTIA is willing to commit to that goal.

I'm surprised Server+ lasted as long as it did. I thought it would be retired with Storage+.

Server+ is very relevant to on premises technical team. In malaysia we still running this course actively. Alot of corporate companies sending their staff for training.

I assume that being in Portugal means I can't provide training for these companies.

Besides being a CompTia, I'm also a MCT (Technical Engineer) with extensive professional experience and certifications, and I'm qualified to provide training in Azure, Linux, Azure networking, and security.

I can be an SME in these areas if CompTIA needs an SME for that region.
Click to expand...
Luis, please feel free to reach out to me and submit your name/hat in the ring for this. There is possible opportunity to do some things virtually. Thanks!

Future TTT course

Future TTT courses should include a session on how to answer a mock simulation question in exam so we can train our students well or can tell what they will looking for in the simulation exam. Most of students get scared when they think the simulation will be like lab exercise.

In TTT we should be trained on our training a mock simulation exam, it will be very helpful to trainer when teaching the course.

Hello @Sivanesan, interesting feedback! I will definitely talk with TTT series leaders about this.

Because in the end, as we see time and time again, many candidates don't care about possessing the skill and experience to actually *do* a job, but rather, they just want a fast track to that phat paycheck that might come a smidge easier if they have a few dozen letters hanging off their business cards.

You really gotta get off that Reddit sub, bro. ;)

I know. There are far too many "get rich quick with little to no effort" types over there. Sometimes I feel like Don Quixote when I post on Reddit.

My understanding last time alot of companies thought CASP+ was the same like CISSP or CISM. When Comptia changed to Security X the rebranding was showing its Comptia trademark. Previously alot of students complain employer was thinking it was cissp by isc2 or cism by isaca which made students explain what is CASP+.

Now it's easy for them SecurityX is highest Security eXpert in cybersecurity track by Comptia

Having passed the CASP+/SecurityX, the CISM, and the CISSP, I can tell you for a fact that they're not equivalent.

On a scale of most technical to most managerial, it would SecurityX as the most technical, CISSP as the most balanced, and CISM as the most managerial.

On a level of rigor, the CISSP and CISM are much more challenging than the SecurityX. Both are considered more prestigious as well. Their equivalent certifications would be the GIAC Security Leadership (GSLC), the GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership (GSTRT), and the GIAC Information Security Professional Certification (GISP).

I wonder if something is going on with Project+, it certainly doesn't have the brand penetration as PMI CAPM, although I'd see them on equal footing. Maybe CompTIA might downgrade Project to 'essentials' and let the 'plus' cert float away. Server+ has always been on the edge, mostly because folks are doing less with on-prem servers and relying on cloud SaaS (unless they have a particular slant against the cloud - ran into a school here a few months ago that 'doesn't want any of its services on the damned cloud'. I guess they were adamant.

I would agree on this, Greg. With CompTIA being for-profit now, I think we'll see every cert evaluated for its profitability.

Totally agree. These things *can* be a bit tricky with On24 as a platform out of the box - one of the reasons why using OBS works great to switch scenes like that.

You are 100% right. Something that I have found of late... the training companies that have worked with me for longer periods are more than happy to let me audit the classes (if I need it) and then provide me an exam voucher. I suppose that comes with the years of work I have put into becoming the professional that I am ;)

Nice. I have mine coming up later this year. Going through the CertMaster Perform material in depth to see how well it *actually* prepares a candidate to take SecurityX. I'm not entirely confident in that, as I went through the DataSys+ materials and took that exam - there were topics on the exam that did not appear in the training materials.

I've always considered there to be a disconnect between the CompTIA training materials and the actual exam, IMAO.

True all the latest exam some of questions are not covered in course.
material. Feed back from my corporate students after exam. They used contact me explain telling it was not in book. But was questioned in exam. Will be highlighting in next TTT series. Hope others also can give feed back on this matter.

SecurityX is the only highest cybersecurity certification which covers theory and practical. Other certification only teach Security management the theory side of it.
Click to expand...
I can see that. With the proverbial alphabet soup of certifications out there, it's hard to differentiate who is 'technical' and who is 'managerial' focused.

I see that most with HR staffers who latch onto a cert, such as Security+, thinking that they want their Level 1 helpdesk people to have Sec+ to make the job description more eyecatching (or something). The big thing there is that a lot of people who qualify people for roles have no idea what each certification means. Instead, they get lost in the alphabet jumble.
