CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam

PearsonVue has the CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam listed under "Other exams." When I attempted to register for it, it stated "Scheduling for this exam will begin in the future." Apparently, registration doesn't start until May 17, 2024.

My current CASP+ doesn't expire until 2028 because I used my CISM to renew it, so I don't need it right away. Plus, I'm an Adjunct Instructor for CompTIA so I can get a free voucher when the exam goes live. I'm posting this so that others can take advantage of the beta exam.

Lesson 5 practice questions for Security+ 701 in learn.comptia.org includes Cloud questions?

Hello,

During a Security+ 701 course week, students will try the learn.comptia.org practice questions for the 16 lessons we deliver for the 701 level exam. I have noticed that lesson 5 questions which are for the Network Architecture will have Cloud-related questions that were not discussed yet during lesson 5, Cloud topics are lesson 6 and should therefore appear for lesson 6 questions, not lesson 5, has anyone else noticed this?

  • Question
Spanish Speaking Instructor and Spanish Learning Materials

Hi Everyone,

I think I know the answer to my second question, but just in case I am making incorrect assumptions, let me go ahead and ask: Are the CompTIA Security + Course Materials available in Spanish?

As for the first question, is there any Instructor on the Forum whose first language is Spanish? Trying to solve a challenge for a client in Equador.

Thanks Everyone!

Happy Friday.

Comp Sci Teacher in Colorado Springs Seeking a New Position in the Area

My campus has decided to focus on BioMed and Engineering as Academies and cut Comp Sci due to decreasing campus enrollment. I need to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

DevOps Fundamentals Ideas for the new Domain 5 in the Version 004.

As mentioned in the Sneak Peek for the new version, (in case you missed it, you can watch the recording and download the slides)
DevOps (why not DevSecOps as now called),
and most of the participants said, they have not much expierence with the DevOps,
lets share Ideas, ressources how to teach it.

If you are training over weeks or months, spend plenty of time here, would be easier, as in teaching it in 5 days to non-dev people, who need to understand the basics.

are their free ressources available to the different tools, like
ELK,
Grafana,
git,
jenkins
and so one, that we can use or share?

Post it here, or upload it to the Ressources / Media Section in CIN and provide the link here.

Would be great to have some stuff for the Trainers going into the TTT then later this year..

  • Question
When Can we Purchase Learn, Labs & Practice for the CompTIA Network+N10-009

Good morning,

I'm curious: on what day can we purchase CertMaster Learn, Labs & Practice before the launch date for Network+ N10-009?

Also, do we know the date for the TTT for the N10-009?

Thank you, and have a great week!

Tracey :cool:

First Time CertMaster Learn and Labs User

Good afternoon. I hope to use the Integrated CertMaster Learn and Labs for Project+ in my IT Project Management college course soon. I found TestOut last year and have integrated the LabSim courseware into a few of our IT courses. The students and faculty love it.

I am beginning my research into setting up CertMaster Learn and Labs and would appreciate any tips/tricks. At first glance, it doesn't appear as user-friendly or intuitive as TestOut LabSim.

Thanks, Chris

Training and Tutoring Process Logging

Hello everyone,
I am new here. I am Ayomide Oluwaga, Head Coach and CIO at Techstartersafrica and I successfully trained 100+ Cybersecurity professionals last year alone.

I will be training 30 students from the 29th and would be documenting the processes I use in making these individuals into professionals. I feel, this process might be useful for a fellow instructor in here. You can choose to follow me to see how I do it or constructively criticise it to make ot better. I would be updating daily on Linkedin & Instagram. (Just make a search for my name or click Ayomide Oluwaga)

I look forward to bringing value into the community

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

Hello everyone, everything good?

I have CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and in view of the growing number of certifications (as I intend to obtain more), I need to carry out planning to minimize costs and efforts for future renewals. For example, as soon as I took Security+, A+ and Network+ were automatically renewed. I also intend to obtain Linux+ and Cloud+ certifications, but I saw on the official page that the latter only has A+, Network+ and Linux+ certifications, leaving Security+ out. However, I also learned that non-CompTIA certifications can also be used to earn CE credits to renew equivalent CompTIA certifications (as I have AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Cisco CCNA and CyberOps).

In short, I intend to do the following:
  • Renew A+, Linux+ (which I'm still going to take) and Network+, by submitting to the Cloud+ exam;
  • Renew Security+, through Cisco CCNA CyberOps renewal (which I took almost 1 year after Security+).
If you can give me more tips and recommendations I would appreciate it! &;-D
