I know this is early, but...any news on the CompTIA Partner Summit 2023? https://connect.comptia.org/partnersummit/home still shows the 2022 event.

Offensive Security released Kali 2023.1 or 'Kali Purple'; a distro aimed at Blue and Purple team members (great Security+ question) with a renewed focus on 'defensive' security. While this is a new release of Kali this 'purple' distro includes new tools specifically for network defenders.

Bleeping Computer has a great article describing the release.

I've yet to download and build an image. I hope to create a VM before the end of next week.

I was reading in an online forum about preparing for exams. I saw several students who mentioned they spent months preparing for certification exams. One student mentioned that he spent three months preparing for the ITF+ exam. Another student mentioned that he averaged six months per exam. Still another stated that he studied for nine months for his first exam.

Granted, I've got 25+ years of experience and have passed four versions of A+, four versions of Net+, four versions of Sec+, and two versions of CySA+ and currently have all but two of the current CompTIA certs. My first CompTIA cert was IT Project+ (now Project+). My supervisor offered me a bonus if I could pass the exam in a week and teach it the following week. I studied like crazy and passed the exam on the first try and did teach it the following week. I don't think I've ever studied for any exam longer than a few weeks. I think I spent three weeks total studying for both the PenTest+ and CASP+ combined. I spent a week studying for my CISM. I passed seven Microsoft exams to get my MCSE in two and a half months. No brain dumps, boot camps, or practice exams either. Just "nose to the grindstone" studying. I don't usually do any labs while preparing because I tend to do lab work all the time anyway.

I know that everyone has different levels of experience and every exam is different. There are a lot of variables that go into preparing for exams.

How long, on average, do you spend preparing for new certifications? How long do you spend preparing for recertifying in certs you've already earned before?

These are printouts of the certificates as I keep the original framed at home. Should I present them chronologically that I earned them, or by color, or by CompTIA’s pathway? I was thinking to just tape these to my office wall and not need a frame. Should I buy more frames for these copies?
Please share your own Certificate Wall.

Good afternoon CINers.

Our school is looking to train the Security+ and Network+ plus course to individuals looking to retool their skills.

Looking at related information, I was calculating 80 hours a piece for each course. The participants would be your average computer user. Any thoughts?

Hello CINERS,

I would like to train Security+, CySA+, but I'd like to know what is the likelhood of employablity with either one or the other certifications, but not both.

I just want to set the proper expectation of employment opprotunities with my students. Are you finding that individuals certified in either of the aformentioned certifications have been employed and what are the typical job roles. I've looked at the job roles on the CompTIA webpage, but are those realistic?

Thank you.

-Robert

Kindly if a customer of my Company asked for a proof of qualified instructor teaching Comptia products that she/he is recognized as a Certified Comptia Instructor what should be the answer please.

How long are the ITF+ vouchers good for? Ideally, I'd be able to save a couple until May 2024 in case any of this school year's students are not ready in time.

Looking at various forums most noticeably Reddit, students discuss and target the goal of achieving 'the trifecta'; or A+, Network+, and Security+. Since these are three foundation certifications; what's the benefit? Is it a bragging rites thing? I noticed that some university programs - WGU was one - seem to require or encourage their students to go this route.
