now exam is 3year renewals by test

Until recently if you renewed a CompTIA certification by taking an exam your certification was not renewed by 3 years from expire date but date you took test on. If used CEUs and renewed early it renewed from expire date.

When I just passed Security+ and it renewed network+ and security+ for 3 years from expire date. So mine expire in 2027. I am glad they do this.

I agree with following but caveat for you. If you do then have a long expire date, nothing counts for renewal on that new cert date until you get in 3 year window to expire date.

Are delimited files Structured or Unstructured?

The material seems to imply that delimited files are structured, but on the practice exam there was a question asking which file types are considered unstructured and the only right answer was Delimited. Was that an error on the question? or are delimited files a weird hybrid of both structured and unstructured?

New Comptia courses

New Comptia A+ modules is really great. For academic use for college and university is very Good.

The problem is with corporate classes.
I would suggest a trainer teach Comptia A+ 1101 course to the management staff as their students. Let the trainer go thru the modules and also finish the lab exercise within 5 days.

Really would like see what the students feedback. And hope in our TTT series can tell us how to teach the corporate students within 5 days. Theory and hands on practical lab.

This not only for A+ but for Network+, Security+, CYSA+ , Pentest+, CASP+.

The modules are really very good. It's will take atleast 7 days according to my calculations to do theory and practical for each courses above.

Can try doing training for internal staff of comptia and get the feed back from them. Let them sit for exam too.

VR Training


VR since its inception has been used for training. Recently, VR has started to become mainstream ever since Meta's metaverse goals. I was wondering, who feels as I do that its about time that VR is used in the IT industry. The closest was the Cisco CCIE Virtual Reality Experience that was an internal demo. I believe now that CompTIA is serious about their own training materials, it is ripe open for CompTIA to be first.

1001 and 1002 Retirement

Once again I feel we're being done over here.
I have just got my key for my 1101 and 1102 Instructor manuals.
I am running 1001 this week and we've just been talking about the exams. I have just seen that the 1000 series will be retired in October 2022, giving anyone currently studying it only 6 months to complete both courses and both exams.
Why such a short time? If they fail an exam there will be limited time to resit it. They can't get time off work to attend courses at the best of times and now they've got to cram both into 6 months???
Net+ was updated in Sept 21. That exam retires June 30th 2022, 9 months later so why is A+ different?

CertMaster Learn + Labs for CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner

We are considering CASP+ for my community college. Not part of our regular cirriculum but an advanced single class we'd offer to students, alumni, as well as others interested in taking the CASP test. Just wondering if anybody has feedback on the CertMaster Learn + Labs for CASP? If so, do you feel it helped you and/or your students prepare for and pass the CASP+ exam?

Thanks!

Clear explaination about CompTIA Expert Level

Mates, Friends

Please make me clear:

I know that to be an Cybersecurity CompTIA Expert Level need to pass for those path:

CompTIA Security Infrastructure Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / PenTest+ / CASP+)
or
CompTIA Security Analytics Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / CASP+)


My question is: What is the expiry date for Expert level once a candidate achieves the goal? and

my other point to be clear for example: someone passed Security+ after 4 years, CySA+ and then 3 years passed Casp+ . Can this one be seen like an Expert Level even one of certification not updated?

Best regards

Cert expiration extended?

I passed my Security+ last week (got it done the last day before the voucher expired!), and, as expected, received the emails that my A+, Net+, and Sec+ certifications were all renewed. The interesting thing is that all three gave an expiration date in 2027, which is 5 years instead of the usual 3. Has the cert validity time frame been extended? Typically, it's only 3 years, and the website still says 3 years as well. I retake the exams with every iteration anyway, but I'd love to know if the time frame is shifting.

  • Question
Can I use Prof.Mark Ciampa videos presented during CIN SY0-501 TTT series in my Security+ class?

Hi,

I have a question. I am teaching Security+ SY0-601. I am using Prof. Mark Ciampa's textbook. I have his videos presented during the CIN SY0-501 TTT series several years ago. Unfortunately the On24 links for that series do not work any more. I found some of his videos still relevant to the current exam and go along with his textbook. I think they will be beneficial to my students, because we are using his book. Can I use his videos in my class? Of course I will give a full credit to his work and CIN. If it is ok to use these videos, I will edit them so that they are short and to the point (I will get rid of chat question for example).

Thanks,
Sukanya
