Last Day for Voucher Eligibility - Project+ 005

We haven't posted this in the CIN before, but because I was answering a question regarding it, I thought I'd better say something...

Tomorrow is your LAST Day to complete all the sessions for PK0-005 Project+ if you want to remain eligible for a test voucher. Hopefully, you all have had the chance to sit down and enjoy the sessions, getting them finished up. If not, well, tick-tock tick-tock.

And remember, if you have questions after the fact for Project+, feel free to reach out to me. I'll be happy to answer them.

Cheers everyone!

  • Question
Common mistakes high school students make on A+ and methods of encouragement.

Hello Forum,

Good afternoon. Apologies if this question has already been asked, I am still learning the setup. We will be starting our certification course this spring. Our students will be high schoolers (Juniors and Seniors). My question is for anyone who has worked with this age group before. What are some common mistakes you have noticed your students make with the A+ certification? What are some ways you encourage your students to take the course AND complete the certification?

My Best,
T.S.

CompTIA ITF+ Update

Hello All,

With the recent update of the CompTIA A+ course, I'm wondering does anyone know if there are any plans for an update of the CompTIA ITF+ course. It looks like it was released around 2019 and some of the content is starting to show its age. We recently started to use the CompTIA resources and we are trialling the ITF+ course as a foundation for learners who haven't no IT experience. On our pathway some of our learners groups stop after the ITF+ whilst others progress to the higher level A+ course. The learners going onto A+ can detect the new content and call out the legacy content in the ITF+

Thanks

Cracking down on braindumps and leaks

So... Braindump sites are everywhere. And then there's videos like these...

Where the creator specifically goes over the question and confirms that the question is on the exam.

Can CompTIA confirm that:
  • They are protecting the value of our certifications by cracking down on dump sites like ExamTopics?
  • They are protecting the value of our certification by revoking certification status for know NDA breakers?
I dislike pointing to specific people like Selena, but this stuff is really blatant.

Threats Intelligence

Hi buddy
someone know if CompTIA will Introduce son or later for Cyber security field Threat Intelligence a certification? I understand that it cover in CySA+ Certification but its time to create a new ones for cybersecurity threat analyst focus. I see that in the Security Operation Center has new team that not only react by events trigged by security controls and SIEM but their task is proactive hunting for threats inside and outside network organization and providing TTP's of Adversaries and share it to all level of organization.

I understand that CySA+ Certification well explaining this taks and how this team works but if CompTIA vendor could have a certification in deed focus on deep Threat Intelligence was wonderful.
I know some vendor are already providing this certification i think CompTIA need to keep track.

What your viewpoint Guys?
