CompTIA and TestOut Joining Forces

So, this came across the wire this morning. If you haven't read it, I think this might, just a little, affect all of us here...lol


The first question on my mind with respect to this: What does that mean for CertMaster? As these were competitor products in the marketplace, does that mean that we'll see CertMaster adopting things like LabSim as part of their overall training packages? Talking-head videos to go along with the CompTIA books? And what kind of impact will this have on other courseware providers and authors for the traditional book companies?

Looks exciting, but it raises a few questions across the board as how all this pans out. I'm sure CompTIA and TestOut haven't completely hammered all this out, but it changes the landscape quite a bit.

Courseware

Hey folks! While I have been teaching CompTIA for a couple of years, I just joined the CIN recently. Until now I have never thought about trying to purchase my own resources because the training companies I teach for always provided them. Now that I see my Security+ books are expired, I am curious to know where we can purchase our own instructor courseware?

Thanks in advance!

In case you did not notice, so you have 6 Months more time..

Although the certification will be retiring and CompTIA will no longer be offering it, anyone who has received this certification will remain CompTIA CTT+ certified, good for life.

CIN logging issues

Is anyone having issues logging into CIN via a web browser? If I try to access CIN from my laptop I get an error:

Thank you for logging in to the CompTIA Site. Unfortunately, you have not yet applied to the program, please apply here .

My phone is still logged into CIN via the App and working

I have been a member of CIN since last year. Not posted much over Christmas and first weeks of Jan due to the high work load

I hope I have not been kicked out and this is just an error

With the CTT+ retiring in March, I'm curious how many of those here hold the certification. And if you have it, did you do the virtual or classroom exams, or even both? If you have it, has it helped you find more teaching opportunities? I'm sitting for the book exam next week and hope to get in both virtual and classroom options before March. I have a virtual class later this month I can use, and an in-person class in February I can use. I will probably use the same lecture topic for both but make the needed adjustments for virtual vs in-person. I am still deciding on the topic to use.

Jumping Off the Hamster Wheel

I've made a conscious decision to fully retire (except for volunteer work), effective June 1st. That decision is in part based upon not moving forward in maintaining my technical skills, specifically as they relate to cloud computing and coding. Living on the technological bleeding edge is simply getting too challenging. I'm wondering if I'm alone with regard this? Back in the old days, I fondly remember CompTIA certifications, by definition, lasted a lifetime. Today, with regular exam updates scheduled with a three (3) year cycle, those who follow a rule that you do not teach to a certification unless you've passed the most recent certification exam is a challenge, and one I'm no longer interested in following. With retirement "mailbox money" exceeding expenses, I'm looking forward to travel (just returned from Australia and New Zealand), with plans to head to Europe in May and South America in the fall. So I won't be hanging around here a lot.

Bring in CertMaster for CASP+ Renewal

@Stephen Schneiter or CompTIA Admins

if anyone is reading this bring in Certmaster renewal for Casp+ in 2023 make it easier to renew for the practitioners best present CompTIA Could give to the CASP+ holders or at least update the renewal to accept Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect sc-100 Exam as this covered everything in CASP+

We already have this for A+ Network+ and Security+ time to bring it in for CASP+

  • Question
Linux + Deep Dive TTT Sessions

I have played the first two sessions for the Linux + Deep Dive training. Do we have to
watch all of them to get credit for it? I don't see any clickable icon to get the "Certificate
of Completion" in the session even at the end of it.

Also, I guess there is no video of who ever is speaking but just audio?
Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you,
Mike
