Thanks everyone

Any idea when there might be an update with ITF?

I would like to see this for all exams and also very early in the process.

There are still a lot of XP machines, floppy disks being used, and other old stuff. But all these eventually have to be dropped from the objectives. What makes Ring Topology so special is what I'm wondering.

Please tell me that I'm wrong but isn't it time for Ring Topology to be removed from the Network+ objectives? I understand that there are things left in the objectives that are relevant and still in use but not sure about this one. I do see that Cat 3 cabling is gone though.

I should be there if I get final approval from my company. Hoping to present also.

If there is a Windows 11 that is substantially different, what does that do for the recent release of the 220-1101 and 220-1102 A+ Objectives? Would CompTIA revise those if there are major changes or just wait three years for the next release of the A+ Objectives?

If you count Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, CIW, and so on, I'm at least at 20+. I have certs older than my students.

I took the CEH practical at home. My dog was barking at the door and I turned around for a second and looked at the door. The proctor literally about freaked out. Told me not to communicate with anyone. I told him my dog barked and my instinct was to look at the door. It was a horrible...

I see that Network+ will be updated this Fall. Will there be a beta exam for it? I'm guessing not since the timeline is getting short.

So my question is do you teach the A+ curriculum as one course or two? Do you do the 1001 objectives separate from the 1002 objectives when teaching or do you just blend it together? How does this work out for students who are mostly wanting to prepare for the exams rather than those students...

A+ and Network+ both since about 2001.

Question: Why can't CompTIA perhaps do a better job at organizing objectives in a more logical order? For example, with A+ Core 2 (220-1002) Safety and Professionalism is in the very last part. As a teacher, this is the very first thing I would want to teach, especially before we do any...

If you view the CompTIA A+ objectives there is a lot of Microsoft specific things. Below are just a few from the 1002 objectives. Based on this, I'm not sure why CompTIA would not include some Windows Server features in the objectives for Server+. Compare and contrast features of Microsoft...

That are my thoughts. Sauk Valley Community College has a few courses aligned and mapped to the Microsoft Certs. Without a cert, curriculum will disappear probably also. Maybe CompTIA should fill that void with a new cert that focuses on Server Operating Systems.
