How do we change a student's name in the system after a student remarriage?
What options do we have?

Are many instructors seeing students go for CySA+ without first completing Security+? Are training organizations suggesting or requiring that students take Security+ before CySA+?

I passed the CompTIA IT Project+ exam in September 2003. It was good for life, so I did not re-certify after it was renamed Project+.

Due to an employer requirement, I took (and passed) the Project+ PK0-005 exam today.

It's still hard for me to believe that it's been 20 years between those two certifications. I've really enjoyed my professional relationship with CompTIA.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
I am preparing for my CompTIA CCT+ before the exam is withdrawn.
I would also like others to also have the chance to take this exam at a reduced price. The voucher is official from the CompTIA store

Hi Guys,

If a passes the S+ exam does the A + and N+ that expired become valid again?

He asked because it says so on the CompTIA website.

Please clarify?

Hi @Stephen Schneiter i have not yet received my exam Voucher for attending CompTIA Project+ TTT. When are we going to get it. Thank you

Okay, CIN - Looks like those Project+ vouchers have gone out to those of you that were on for my Proj+ TTT! Good luck to all of you!

Now, in a shameless post, you get to inflate my ego. This is the part where we find out if the TTT was helpful/instrumental in getting you to that shiny Project+ cert. So if you pass, post it here! If I did something really right, let me know.

And if you don't get it, it's okay! Keep at it - I'll help if you need it, meanwhile, if there was something about my training that wasn't so good, please tell me that, right here publicly, even. No instructor can improve if he does everything right, yeah? And I love to improve myself too. Or as a verse from the Good Book says, "As iron sharpens iron...". This is how we make CIN instructors the best ones out there. So, bring your eggs and tomatoes - I can handle it.

It was a pleasure having all of you on for the TTT and I sincerely wish you good luck as you all start certifying!

We are an academic testing site. I was told there was a way for instructors to see result when an exam is taken.
Where do I find the instructions for obtaining the results? What do the students need to do? Thank you!

CompTIA Extends A+ Brand to Launch More Careers in Technology​

May 23, 2023
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – CompTIA, the world’s leading certifying body in information technology (IT), today announced plans to expand its CompTIA A+ brand, adding a new suite of introductory resources to prepare aspiring tech professionals for on-the-job success.

The CompTIA A+ underscore (_) technical learning and certificate programs is a series of modular programs that will offer learners greater flexibility to build the depth and breadth of their skills, while expanding accessibility to encourage more people to explore tech career pathway options. The CompTIA A+_ series centers around key knowledge domains and in-demand job roles, including the following areas:

Recently, I was on a CompTIA-related message board, and I noticed a disturbing trend. Most people posting were directly asking which multiple-choice questions other testers had on their exams and what PBQs they had. I was under the impression that sharing that information violated CompTIA's NDA. When I brought it up, I was met with derision and mockery.

There were also a lot of posts recommending 16-hour free video series and questionable practice exams. When I suggested taking a class, using CertMaster resources, or getting a decent book from Amazon, I was again met with mockery and ridicule.

There seemed to be a pervasive culture of encouraging cutting corners and taking shortcuts to "check the box" to get a cert and a tech career. They seemed to be mostly younger people with no experience whatsoever. It felt like a bunch of high school kids trying to share secrets on how to scam the system. None of them wanted to hear from an old geezer like me who told them they needed to study hard to have practical applied knowledge of the information and not just memorize and exam cram. My suggestions fell on deaf ears.

Does what we do as trainers really matter? Even in my 20+ years of being a trainer, I've encountered the occasional student (or class) who didn't care about learning as they did about "checking the box." I know I can't make people want to learn, but it's challenging to help them when they have a poor work ethic and attitude. There will always be people who try to cheat the system to get a certification that, quite frankly, they don't deserve. Even if they get certified and get past the recruiters and hiring managers, they'll struggle to perform the most basic tasks because they took the easy way out. Employers will see them struggle and start to believe the certifications have little value in the real world.

Maybe I'm just an idealist, but I strongly believe that certifications, or any education for that matter, have incredible value. They show that a person has a baseline mastery of a topic; for years, I've been preaching that the A+/Network+/Security+ trifecta should be the baseline level of certification for any tech job. Those three certifications are the broadest, foundational knowledge areas to cover how things work and basic troubleshooting. From there, a person can pivot into numerous different specialty areas.

Why do we do it? Why do we choose to be technical trainers? Does anyone care any more?

How do I purchase a bundle package for Security Plus for 10 students. We're standing up a Sec+ bootcamp at my job and I've be tasked with looking into getting the training program started.

I haven't received an official email yet and it's not appearing in my CertMetrics account, but... if you took it, your report might be in.
